Like lotto, you gotta be in it to win it.
It also helps to have a message.
Do Republicans have one anymore, except more freedom?
You know, freedom to ship your jobs overseas where the labor is cheaper and safety, health, and environmental regulation is next to nonexistent, freedom to cut the taxes of the businesses that won't give you a job, freedom to spend your tax dollars on defense of "US interests" abroad which are really the interests of those businesses not yours, freedom to keep bringing in millions of cheaper laborers to compete for your jobs and drive down your wages, and freedom to keep charging 4.45% for federal students loans in a 2.49% 10-yr note economy.
Yes, we need freedom all right. Freedom from Republicans.
Unfortunately that means Democrats.
Which is why we are well and truly screwed.
