The other problem is that the Democrats aren’t hitting hard on the issue that resonates with all Americans–health care and economics. People might not give a rat fuck about Iraq, gay marriage, or anything else, but they care about increasing gas costs. They care about stagnant wages. They care about ballooning health care costs. They care about the lack of resources for retirement.

I think what we need is a third party movement that successfully fuses economic conservatism (low taxes, cutting deficit spending, eliminating government waste, encouraging investment) with social liberalism (abortion and civil rights protections, a free press, comprehensive education for all children, environmental safeguards).

Even the most conservative RWNM lover wants a good life for his family and his kids. The trick is to make them see that they’re getting fucked by the Bush regime as much as any liberal–maybe more, because we never drank the Kool-Aid. ;)
