If the Dems did things like Repubs…

The Rude One’s got a good one about how the Dems need some sack:

If Republicans had wanted universal health care, you would have seen commercials with heartless insurance agents stabbing babies and drinking their blood. You would have seen ads with desperate, laid-off old men offering to blow people for quarters so they could afford their insulin. You would have seen ads about how sad it is that a depressed middle-aged woman with a dream of a scrapbooking store is now suicidal over not being able to follow her small business dream because if she left her shitty office job, she’d lose her health care. The ad would have ended with a gunshot in darkness. People would have been begging for health care reform because Republicans would have made it seem like the world would fall apart without it.

    Funny because it’s true!  I have often wondered why Democrats don’t deliver messages in the effective way Republicans do (sometimes, not always).  So, why is that?  Why don’t they go that route?  I think that would make a great commercial!  Except maybe for the stabbing babies part.

    Well, I don’t think Dems are inherently the cocksuckers that today’s Republicans seem to be. I have no problem being that way, but apparently too many of em are worried about offending someone or something. I’ve often said that the key to the Dems winning is to just do what Republicans do with one exception… don’t make shit up.
