Reply #21: Populism [View All]

can work. You campaign in the "red states" and just flat ask people what have the Republicans REALLY done for you. They've shipped your jobs to China, screwed your state out of funding so that your property taxes have gone up, exploded the debt so that the government borrowing money drives up interest rates and your credit card interest goes up, they scare you with the fake boogie men of gay marriage and an Islamic terrorist under every rock, and the government that THEY now control every branch of does jack squat for you. The Republicans will never really come through for the religious right they just use them to get votes and play them for suckers.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely,the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
