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.
