Just finished having a legislative luncheon with the local chamber. The event was supposed to be a Sheriff’s race preview but had far more time alloted to Congressman Bob Etheridge (D).
Fascinating, Bob is always good at using the latest “talking points” memo from Pelosi or Harry Reid’s office.
The campaign to take back the House for the left is this, “When Bill Clinton was in office, the GOP led House helped to reign in spending and we had a balanced budget, we need to have the House in better hands to work with this administration, to provide balance.”
Hmm, the rest of the message? Simple, we need more Ethanol because there was a rusty pipe leak in Alaska which is going to make gas prices go up and we’re too dependent on bad countries to get oil.
We need more subsidies to produce the Ethanol. And more windmills, biodiesel and alternative fuels would happen if the GOP would just get out of the way.
FEMA is corrupt, Iraq is a mess, the Bushies cut work training programs and the left saved them in the House.
The House has done a terrible job, accomplished nothing, it’s time for a change. No real message, nice and simple.
And it will sell because it is so simple to understand!
