In 2008, the Democrats simply need to point out the obvious...

The Republicans are the party of weakness.

It's why reading Brilliant at Breakfast is always a good way to start the day.

“Six years after Sept. 11, this man still roams free — thanks to George W. Bush and his Republican allies. They promised they would be tough. They promised to protect us here at home.

America can no longer afford the party of weakness. Vote Democratic, as if your life depended on it.”
