I would like to see Democrats talk about all the taxes Republicans want to raise

almost always on working people, whom they feel aren't paying enough.

yeah, bring the campaign to the Republicans' wheelhouse.

and then interview as many people as they can who will lose their health insurance, or Medicaid or access to healthcare if Obamacare is repealed.

and yeah, get all moral on them, like "why are the Republicans trying to take this hard working woman and her two children's healthcare away?"

call John Boehner and ask him why.

scorched earth campaigns aren't wrong if they are true.

the GOP is all that they try to paint our side as. They are the true out-of-control spenders, they're inept at foreign policy, they're the ones who want to raise taxes on average Americans (instead of the rich), they're the ones who are anti-life (voting to repeal health care reform 50+ times), and they're the true dividers.
