Mr. Starkey, I'm just curious. If you are a Republican and actually want the GOP to win back the Senate, then why have I not heard you once criticize the left? You seem to support Obamacare, the stimulus, and most of Obama's other policies. Honestly, I'm happy you're not voting Dem just because that helps our side, but does the GOP really match your ideology at all?
We can beat the Dems easily by regaining the center, which means downplaying the far right's disdain of female, minority, Hispanic, and gay issues.
Notice none of those are about small government or taxes, of which I favor both, when possible.
People and their needs and lives come first in prioritizing government service to me.
We can't by yelling at Dems if we are not championing people and their needs and showing how we can do that.
We will keep losing the center as we did in 2008 and 2012 if we do it your way, because the demographic began shifting dramatically after 2004.
Do you want to win elections? Think people not Democratic Party.
Dear Jake: instead of wasting resources competing AGAINST each other,
why not challenge each party to raise money to fix problems the way they believe in.
Then people can vote with their dollars and membership which programs represent what policies and leadership they want to pay for and be under.
I'd like your feedback and comments to my proposed draft of points and rules
to present to party leaders, to pay back the public for 24 billion estimated in costs
during the last govt shut down. Please see other thread and post as many objections or suggestions as you can think of. I will ask party leaders and members to review the
list and formulate a joint proposal to Congress and candidates to start investing
campaign funds and resources to train future leaders BASED ON THESE CORRECTIONS.
Thanks, Jake
Hope you have a productive and prosperous year ahead!
