BillD,

The reason that the right is stuck with bumper-sticker length positions is because that's about the lenght of the knowledge of the real world... This is where the Dems are failing... The Dems need to counter with their own bumper-sticker positions...

Face it, the American people are either so dumbed down that you can't converse with them or they are too consumed trying to figure our how not to end up homeless... This is the perfect storm for the Repubs... But back to the Dems...

When was the last time you heard a Dem stand up and say, "The reason we need to reform health care is because it's costing us 17% of our GNP as opposed to the 9% that our competitors are paying and that is costing us jobs"... If the Dems would "Keep it Simple, Stupid" they would be doing alot better in the polls...

But, no... The Dems have to run on and on and on and, frankly, are boring the electorate to death... POkay, they maybe right but they aren't matching the right bumper-sticker for bumper-sticker and they had better wake up to the PR battle they are losing...

This ain't about right or wrong policies... The Repubs had 8 years toprove that they are the party of wrong policies... It's about salesmanship... Period!!!
