Good point. Trump is killing the GOP because their message is weak. But is ours?
- Create an economy built to last & built from the middle out. (Sep 2012)
- OpEd: Republicans want to cut benefits to kids. (Jan 2012)
- Restore the budget discipline of the 1990s. (Nov 2006)
- Cut the deficit in half over the next four years. (Jul 2004)
- Democrats reversed economic stagnation of previous years. (Aug 2000)
- Democrats must continue to lead Americans to prosperity. (Aug 2000)
- G.O.P. creates debt, Dems create surpluses. (Aug 2000)
- Democrats will eliminate publicly held debt by 2012. (Aug 2000)
- Policy should encourage home ownership & affordable housing.
It's a great message...but that's not the reality TODAY / in the last decade.....
- The economy is not strong and people are hurting.
- Fear-Mongering: The GOP will take away all your benefits
- Budget Discipline? When the Libs took over the Congress passing a budget - required by law annually - was suspended and did not start back up again until the GOP took the House; record-setting 'monthly', 'annual', and 'total' deficit spending; $7 trillion in only 4 years, etc....
- Obama promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his 1st term - massive failure to do so
- Prosperity? More people on Food Stamps, Welfare, lost mean income, smaller / shrinking middle class, black unemployment double that of whites...
- GOP Creates Debt? In his 1st 6 years in office Bush add $2.5 trillion - DNC took over Congress/spending and added $1.5 trillion more his last 2 years. In Obama's 1st 4 years he added approx. $7 trillion, with the help of a DNC-Controlled Congress his 1st 2 years.
Great numbers and facts...from more than a DECADE ago, but that really doesn't address reality and / or the NEW Democrats or the NEW Republicans. The thing that has changed is the leadership in
both parties that have led this nation down the wrong road the last decade PLUS!
