Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Why was Katrina such a monumental disaster? Where's Osama? Why the lies about WMDs? Why are the lives of young Americans being needlessly sacrificed in Iraq? George Bush and the Republican Party are the reason why America is LESS SAFE!! If you like the way things are going, then vote Republican. But if you think things need to change, voting for Democrats is your only choice.
TPM readers offer some good campaign advice to Democrats.
from PB: If the Democrats are serious about re-taking power they need to stop complaining about what is acceptable in political discourse and start running ads with footage of people standing on rooftops in New Orleans, chaos in Iraq, and bin Laden still on the loose and remind the American people all of these things are Bush's fault. Republicans will go wild complaining that it is not fair and it politicizes tragedies. Let them.
Rather than trying to work the refs, Democrats need to remind the American people over and over that this President has failed at everything he has done: he has failed to capture bin Laden, his policy in Iraq is a monumental failure, and he has failed to make the American people safer. Every level of government has broken down because of Bush's mistakes. These guys can't even get the little things right let alone the big stuff. And voting Republican only means more of the same.from RP: "You -- the Voters -- have ONE DAY to hold the Bush Administration accountable for what's happened in Iraq, and here at home. ONE DAY -- election day. If you like the way things are going, vote Republican. If you think things need to change, VOTE DEMOCRATIC. Seize the day. It's your very last chance."
