Are you better off than you were six years ago?
THIS is the question Democratic candidates need to be asking the voters this fall. It worked for Clinton, and it will work again, because, as in 1990, voters are NOT better off after a Bush presidency, and we are NOT better off after 12 years of a republican majority in Congress.
The WashPost reports that so-called "security moms," a key to the 2004 Bush victory, are turning away from republicans.
This shows that people are finally "getting it"--realizing that not only are we NOT better off when it comes to the economy, but also security, under the GOP.
So--we all need to get the word out to the voters, that we are NOT better off, and NOT safer, when Republicans are in control. After all, how could we be? Republican policies are designed to further the interests of the wealthy and big business, NOT to make the world a better place for the rest of us.
