In a recent talk with reporters, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka called on Democrats to present a more populist message, especially in talking about economic fairness. He's right, but more important was his caveat to American voters--republicans shut up about issues that are not popular (outlawing abortion, birth control, right to work), but once elected, shove their unpopular agenda down their citizens' throats.
We've seen it here in Michigan where Rick Snyder swore up and down in 2010 that he was neither interested in destroying unions or getting involved in the abortion debate. Four years later we have a right to work for less law and our women having to buy rape insurance. And I will guarantee that at least the ones in blue and purple states (e.g. Joni Ernst in Iowa or Cory Gardner in Colorado) are following the same playbook.
Swear to God, every ad we run for the next month should be blunt and simple: republicans are a) fucking nuts, and b) do not have America's best interests at heart.
At least, unlike republicans, we'd at least be honest with the voters.
Peace,
