SoapZone Community: Politics Message Board

That question is proof, once again, that Democrats suck at messaging! Let me try that again for the people in the back row: DEMOCRATS SUCK AT MESSAGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could make the font bigger and make it sing and dance. It's like when President Biden joked about a ribbon cutting in the district of Congresswoman Boebert. Republicans take credit for the sun rising and Democrats put their big toe in the dirt and say, "'Tweren't nothin'" after saving a town.

Thanks to the actions of Red State legislators, people are understanding that it's not about abortion. It's about reproductive issues including medical procedures (surgical and medication abortion, birth control implantation, IVF, and a host of other non-DIY things that people do as individuals or as part of a partnership to ensure their health, safety, and options). When states want to ban discussing options, even if the option isn't done there, all I can say is "Houston (and other locations in Texas), we have a problem." People are not liking the taste of the [car] they've caught.

As am I. Those who claim to be for "law and order" (not the show) need to pay attention.

Possibly just as good as a governor to show strength and capability is a senior military member. Someone mentioned the former Supreme Allied Commander - Europe, Admiral James Stavridis. [I suggest] a lower level guy who's "good people," LTG Frederick Benjamin ("I go by 'Ben'") Hodges, the former EUCOM commander. I know he's "good people" because he was my boss. People think Dems are weak, so having a former senior officer as the VP may staunch some of the insanity right quick...unless they start whining about a "woke military." It meets or beats LTG Flynn <insert eyeroll> who should have been fired by President Obama for his security issues. (He was a lector at my parish when he was a COL.)

My concern with taking Governor Beshear is that Kentucky will, once again, go red and stupid. If I recall correctly, there's been a leapfrogging back and forth of leadership in Kentucky. There's a Democrat who puts them on a good path, then they elect a Republican who drives the state into the ditch. A Democrat is elected who straightens things out, then the good people of Kentucky vote for a Republican who races to the ditch at full speed. His removal could be a race to the ditch again and it may be at the worst possible time.
