Criticize, Criticize, Criticize
We all hear the complaint that folks are tired of hearing Democrats and Republicans criticize each other instead of just saying what positive things they would like to do. We can't tell you what positive changes we propose without telling what is wrong that needs to be changed. Each of the ads we've run has, we believe, clearly described what change we propose or described a very negative policy of this Republican regime that can only be changed by just stopping it. Last December, the local Republican Party ran an ad stating they are in favor of our country, our moms, and apple pie. We agree. But that ad ignored the damage this Republican administration is inflicting on our country. We need to speak to what's going wrong. Like what has happened to decent paying jobs with good benefits? We don't blame our Republican neighbors for what is being inflicted on our country except they have failed to keep their national party from growing into a monster beholden to a privileged few. Our environment, our economy, our respect in the world, our security, our humanity, and our treatment of the needy can only be described in negative terms. We do not claim Democrats have a monopoly on good ideas. But we do believe there is too little discussion of ideas and America loses as a result. Republicans, independents, and all Americans need to join this discussion. |
