I am running as a Republican. I don't really need a plan because you are not clever enough to see that I don't have one.

What I hope is that you will allow me to set the debate issues. What you will notice is that it will only be on topics of fear and lies, never on substance, for such is the party of "No".

Please do not remind voters I have campaigned very hard to scare you since Obama's inauguration. Voters hate to have politics shoved down their throat every second. They may also think that I spend so much time blabbing, I am not getting any work done.

Do not remind them of how stupid I am and the crazy things I did or said since I get to set the debate topics.

Don't say I am so crazy I thought Obama was born in Kenya even before the Republic of Kenya was born. Voters hate it when they find out the truth about stupid people and will retaliate.

Don't remind them that my party failed to applaud Obama's call for more jobs during the SOTU address. Especially not with videos. That would expose us as disinterested hypocrites.

Don't ask where are the death panels. We just made up that stuff because our masters, the health care industry, thought it would be amusing. You would make us look crazy if you posted videos of that.

Don't tell them we used the filibuster or threat of filibuster more than any other Congress as voters want to see politicians work, not blab their fool heads off.

Leave Glenn Beck alone. If you tell folks he is a Mormon those Christian zealots may just stop listening or worse voting.

Don't tell them we vote against the little guy such as with bank loans or even refunding the military missions.

Do not deflate our mosque issue. I know you are looking very hard for one. I hope you never tell them, "Hey, you know. America was built on the genocide of native Americans. How many buildings now stand where once proud cultures dwelled?"

And don't start your own wedge issues such as should politcians who take corporate bribes be charged with treason since they betray the voters?

And don't find some convenient label to call me when I call you tax and spend liberal. Don't say I spend your children's future and run.

Don't say I don't conserve the environment. How embarrasing is that for a conservative not to conserve the environment.

And don't ask where are/were the good jobs in Republican strongholds? You see, for us, a good job for you is minimum wage forever.

3. Minum wage forever can only be justly given by those that live in that situation.

Having a minimum wage forever, if it is from those without money, is perfectly fine. The problem is that minimum wage is to increase their own luxury at the cost of others.


Although that is also why you collect debts from those that owe you from past wrong actions that have more then they need.

The thing about collecting, is it is not collecting from those that care and do what they can with what they have, it is for that thin sliver that does not help or care about people. A small group of people with not only more then they need, but that do not do better with what they do have.

4. Make that into a campaign ad and play it coast to coast on every station.
I have yet to see or hear a single Democratic Ad but then Election season doesn't really start until after Labor Day. I hope to see and hear (often) some very good and pointed Ads real soon.
