I can hardly wait to see what they come up with.
From The Hill.
House Democratic leaders plan to launch a 2014 version of the “Six for ’06” strategy that propelled them into the majority eight years ago.
Though still in the development stages, the strategy will mirror the 2006 campaign in featuring a series of specific policy points designed to distinguish the Democrats’ priorities from those of the Republicans, according to party leaders.
“As ‘Six for ’06’ did, it will have specific ideas that contrasts Republicans siding with special interests, and Democrats siding with the middle class,” said Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.), head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).”This election’s going to be a referendum on who’s got your back,” he told The Hill. “And so it will fit into that general theme.”
House Democrats face major headwinds as they head into November’s elections. To win back the lower chamber, they would need to pick up 17 seats – a tall order in a mid-term cycle when the party of lame-duck presidents has historically fared poorly. Compounding their problem, Obama’s approval rating hasn’t topped 50 percent in roughly a year.
Somebody at the DCCC is having a pout fest:
All hope is lost, the moment you give up.
Well by all means, GIVE UP, sweetpea.
How about these? (from the comments at The Hill)
My own suggestions:
“We got your back…and your phone records, and your emails, and your privacy, and your Constitutional rights…”
“Vote for us, your welfare checks and food stamps depend on it”
“We’ve already destroyed America, what difference does it make?”
“Vote for us, because RACISM!, that’s why.”
I recommend using one of mine. Sure beats putting sugar on a shit sandwich.
