But only if and when our messaging and news coverage gets better.

And we do have to be cautious which bills we'd oppose. Cut or cut out SS or SSDI or Vet benefits and it will fall on us because the long time 'Truth' has been dems bad on Sec and the military. This is just one of the 40 year old memes we need to kill. Killing these and taking back labels and ideas should be the first and continually underlying ideal. Remember, only Clinton and Third Way democrats could kill general welfare laws. We have to get smarter... and more ruthless.. towards repugs. Leave no stone unturned, bring out every scandal and harp about each constantly. TV loves scandals, so we just might even get more air time the more a united front we put up towards the sex, drugs, and money scandals of repugs
