Exactly, Greg...

This is the point I was trying to make to Ron about the framing of issues...

I argued that the Dems have not realized just how moronic the voters are and need to simplify the message down to their level... The word "obstruction" is way over their heads... Plus, it is old and tired having been used so often by the Repubs...

No, these morons are like sports fans... They go strictly on emotion... That's where the Repubs are winnin' the race and bumpin' the Dems into the wall... The Dems have been accused of being these Volve drivin', latte drinkin' elitists and when the Dems use big words or concepts that won't fit on a bumper sticker they come off just as the Repubs have painted them...

I'm stickin' with "No work, no pay"... It is simple... No long words... Gets the point accross that the Repubs gotta show up in Congress... Put the Repubs on the defense... Uses the Repub strategy of dumbed down messages...

Yeah, I know that most of the money that Congressmen get is from lobbiests and kickbacks but that really isn't the issue here... What is at issue is that these people are being paid to participate and even if they think doing nothin' is their way of particiaptin' the Dems can use this to their advantage...

One thing for sure is that the Dems had better start fightin' 'cause with today Supreme Court rulin' they are in danger of becoming an endngered species real soon...
