Dems need a TV campaign right now, to pin bankster protectionism on the Repub party.

Rising anti-bankster populism is a force to reckon with nowadays. People are beyond fed up. I'd say how people truly feel but I'm trying to keep this OP clean.

The Dem Party can literally undo the Repub Party by showing America that Repubs are bankster protectionists.

TV campaigns are costly, but I believe Dems would miss a golden opportunity to attract populism if they don't run some ads.

1. crickets

The Dem Party teems to think having a media response program is irrelevant. I'm sure everything will just blow over if we ignore it. After all, we are in the right and the truth will prevail.

Ah, jeez. Can we get any lamer? PLEASE somebody get us a liberal AEI or Heritage. It's not cheating! Honest!

Prepared bullshit is distasteful to Dems. However, there is power in putting a name to things!!

2. Apparently the Great Middle...

has a hard time with subtlety. Go for the really simple... maybe a cartoon. Repubs as hogs in troughs.... fatcat banksters... the whole thing.

Will they do it? Naaaah.

Apparently, it's impossible for the Dems to "frame" any debate in public. Shit, I don't understand why the Dems don't take on Faux Snooze like Jon does.

7. Tim Kaine answers to the White House

So if somebody is asleep at the wheel, it's David Axelrod and his underlings.

8. The GOP must be very afraid of the teabaggers. They came out and said yesterday

the the democratic financial reform bill includes bailouts for the banks. What a lie.

9. Yes, they do. This could be the issue where we take back the populist message

Let's hope we don't squander the opportunity in our zeal to avoid hurting the fat cats' feelings.
