In a year we have a gubernatorial election in IL. Blago country. The Poster for a state of corruption.
This should be a lay up for Republicans. In a state totally controlled by corrupt democrats and humiliated nationally you would think the Republicans would come up with a good strategy for winning back governance.
NOPE.
I heard a man I hoped to support who was a guest this morning on Radio. He has announced, Brady. Guess what his platform to run on was: Lower taxes and less government spending.
WHAT?
I’m FOR lower taxes and less government spending but that won’t get votes. You can’t win elections with fiscal appeals anymore. Particularly since all politicians are considered evil by the populace at large. No one believes any more. They think we are all big spenders.
So, we will end up with another corrupt democrat at the helm in the governors office.
If we do that again in trying to take back congress and the Presidency we will lose there too.
Just like in the last election, Republicans thought it was about taxes and government spending. It’s not. It’s about a government that’s corrupt and out of control trying to direct your life. It’s about codification of evil in abortion and homosexuality. It’s about people lining their pockets and robbing the poor. It’s about union control. It’s about gangsters in charge. It’s about failed systems that don’t work because of graft. The system no longer works.
When we spend all that time talking about spending and taxes it’s too abstract and it doesn’t appeal to anyone except the choir. You already have the choir, Mr Brady. Start talking to the seekers.
Say what you will about Palin and Huckabee, they might not be your type of candidates but they do understand how to talk to the things that matter to people who vote. MOST PEOPLE DON’T PAY TAXES ANYMORE. You need their votes to win. Talk about what matters to THEM. The life they lead and what’s wrong with it.
I want conservatives back in power but we seem to have a bad habit of being tone deaf.
