Close watch on mid-term elections
To the editor:
With poll numbers falling, people are asking what Democrats should do now to win the mid-term elections this fall. What message should Democrats use to bring the attention of the voters back to remembering the Bush Era and how we got in this economic crisis in the first place.
If I were the Democrats, what I would do is buy 15 minutes of time on the major networks a few days before the election, and I would play Bush’s full economic crisis speech of Sept. 24, 2008.
I think once the voters hear that again, and the talking heads on cable start discussing it, then the election will be about whether America should continue the long hard path to recovery, or should we go back to the Bush Era and make the problem worse. Elections have consequences and, if we make the wrong choice, then we have to pay the price.
