God i hate this new blogger interface….
For awhile I thought no one was reading my blog because for some reason new comments weren’t showing up on my computer. So I felt dejected, but now I am happy again.
allright my take on the democratic race, Howard dean is looking pretty good. I saw him interviewed a couple times and there was a minimum of bullshit. But I think it’s gonna be really hard to beat bush no matter what.
what the dems need to d oin my opinion is
Basically the main place where bush beats the demo’s is in national security issues. So the democrats should do a few things to undermine the publics confidence in bush
1. Talk about the Iraqi occupation as a failure. Pound this point home no matter what happens in Iraq. If the streets in Iraq are being paved in gold the demo’s should say that hte streets should be paved in platinum.
When talking about Iraq the main issue should be our soldiers saftey and how bushg isn’t doing enough to provide for their saftey.
2. Bring afgahnistan back to the th media’s attention. Our reconstruction of A’stan is a failure, and it should be presented as bush not giving enough support for our troops there,
3. When critiscing bush on foriegn policy there should be only three themes that our brought up. 1. That bush cannot be trusted (the dems are doing this pretty good right now) 2. That bush is not giving our troops abroad enough support to keep them safe, 3. that bush’s policies are making the terrorism more likely (in supporting htis point talk about the possibility of Saddam’s WMDs going to terrorists and the reforming of the taliban in A-stan.
4. Whatever you do don’t talk positivley about the french. People here really hate them.
As for non foriegn policy advice i only have one thing to say. Stay negative. The main focus of any dem campaign should be to critisize bush. They should try to focus the debate on Bush. Bush made the campaign in 2000 about Al Gore’s honesty and the demo’s this year should do the same. It’s been shown many times that negative campaign ads work better than positive ones.
