Good News Democrats---The GOP still do not "get it".
The GOP still reeling from recent losses and seeing this as
a wake up call continue to push their old message.

They do not realize the Middle Working Class is pushing the
"fog from their eyes." Yes the American People are learning
they must grab their coats and run for the door when they
hear the catch phrases such as, "Market Foreces", " Competitiveness"
"Free Markets" "Free Trade".

Yes, Average Americans have seen what "Market Forces" have wrought
upon the Middle Class. Enron, Lucent--loss of pensions, loss of
jobs. Those old "Market Forces" really wreaked havoc in Housing
Market--Foreclosures and Bankruptcy.

Oh yes, good old "competiveness". Translated it means bringing in
cheap labor which displaces Americans from good paying jobs. It
also means downward drain on wages for the people at the lower
rung of Socioeconomic Ladder. Their latest mantra. We must have
Corporate Taxcuts. Are they polittically tone deaf???

"Free Markets" to the average American means all rules are out
the window. Business Interests come before citizen's interest.
Drug Legislation which favors BIG PHARMOr over Americans citizens.
Drug Companies get more money and benefits than American people.
Free Markets means no inspection so to speak so American Kids
end up with Lead in their toys, poison in their toothpaste,
tainted Pet Food and Ilnesses from imported food.

Free Trade means America's declining role as SuperPower. If
not economically strong, your power is diminished. Free Trade
means good paying jobs lost for jobs which pay much less as
International Corporations move from country to country seeking
cheapest labor.

Taxcuts Taxcuts means keeping the pail of moneyin as small as possible
in DC. Squeexing money out of established programs (cuts) hopefully
the GOP will reach a point there is not enough money. One by one
they will discontinue programs until there is minimal government.
Both parties are gulty here. Come on they were not going to send
a stimulus to Seniors and Veterans so they could give Illegal
Immigrants a refund. How much have they raided the SS Fund.

In conclusion, I hear the GOP going on at great rate. Market
Forces, Free Market Principles, Free Trade---keep it up and the
Democrats can have a landslide. Are the Democrats smart enough
to make the proper arguments forcefully and credibly.
