I totally agree that Dems have to realize, when they're on TV or on the radio, that they're not speaking to the republi-bot on the set with them. Their words have to be aimed at the viewers and listeners, and that means -- just as you've noted -- speaking in plain, direct language.

It also means staying on message, not getting knocked about responding to each and every nonsense-bomb the repukes like to toss out. Control the discussion! Go in with a talking point or two you want to get out, and keep pushing it. No need to be shrill, no need to make up lies and distortions like the pukes do. Just embrace a few simple truths and explain the Dem point of view in a straightforward way anyone can understand.
