Democrats have figured out what they did wrong: Messaging.
Yep, their ideas were like super awesome, but they didn’t sell them right. Part of that was their slogan, “Shut up, you stupid, violent racist!” That just didn’t seem to connect with voters who remain unconvinced of how stupid, violent and racist they were. And then there were all the great things Democrats did:
* Spent trillions of dollars… for some reasons. Maybe to help with jobs or something.
* Created giant, expensive new government program of Obamacare that will somehow magically reduce the deficit… possibly through the help of unicorns.
* Created or saved millions — perhaps billions — of invisible jobs.
* Finally stood up to stupid, violent racists (i.e., Americans) and told them to shut up.
So the Democrats had all these great accomplishments, but somehow people focused on the minor details that the economy is in shambles, people are out of work, and now we’re way deeper in debt because of Democrat’s spending they didn’t want (not wanting it because they were stupid, violent, and racist). So what can Democrats do to improve their messaging and get people to recognize all they’ve done?
Here’s my idea for messaging for the Democrats:
Just replace the UFO with a job Obama has saved or created.
Time to be fair! Obama saved lots of jobs at the unemployment and welfare offices.
He saved the jobs of Washington Republicans office staffers, and created thousands of new staffer’s jobs.
He saved thousands of shovel ready jobs that Americans won’t do so the Illegal Aliens can feed their families in Mexico.
Don’t you realize that maybe he’s saved or created jobs on other planets (studying how stupid humans can be I figure) so the UFO is apropos?
I believe that the biggest number of jobs Obama has created (or perhaps even saved; remember, Kucinich won) are, in fact, UFO pilots and stewardesses.
Elephant cage attendant…Boise Zoo.
Careful, Frank, or a blue UFO will descend on your house and little
greengray men will come out and scan and probe you. Oh, right! We already do that at our airports. Never mind.* Democrats: 2.1 million voting prisoners and 6.4 million voting felons can’t be wrong
@zzyzx: Does Boise have a zoo? Is the elephant painted blue?
The Democrats: We’re somewhere between toy and weapon.
Even the commies are trying to cover their tracks when it comes to Obama. Evidently Winston Smith still has a job. … http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2010/11/sooooo-busted-communists-caught.html
Heh. This messaging stuff is hilarious! The reality is we got Obama’s message loud and clear and we didn’t like it. On Nov. 2 we delivered one of our own. Stick it up your…, or something like it. You think Obama and the Dems got it? Doesn’t look like it.
Since the Dems think it was a mis-messaging or something, we can expect more messaging from them. Then we send another message on 2012. Go back to Chicago, or better yet, Hawaii. It’s farther away, you see. Messaging is fun!
Well Burma, I don’t know if Boise has a zoo or not, but does it matter? We’re talking job creation here. There’s nothing that says the job has to be useful or productive. So it hardly matters if Boise has a zoo, what does matter is that they have a much needed elephant cage attendant. They should actually have two more so the swing and midnight shifts are covered. If they don’t have a zoo they can always build one later.
I suck. My lack of photoshop skills prevents from sticking an Obama head on the top of that flying saucer in the poster.
Obama lowered the seas, saved the climate, ended hunger, and and has given the world full employment. In his own mind.
If I want to be “probed” I will just go out to the airport and refuse the full body scanner. As I understand it that sets off a full-red alert and you are promptly pulled aside and your scrotum is completely examined! Not Cool!
I have a shovel ready job. Take a couple of shovels and cover up the Boise State football field with dirt, then grow some green grass on it! That would like totally rock and make them look like a Big Boy football team rather than the Smurfs…
Better message for Dimocrats:
“And…if you let us destroy the country in the NEXT TWO YEARS, we’ll send you second SHAM-WOW…FOR FREE!!!1!!
How stupid are the marxists that they re-elected kusuckinich. jerry brown, harry reid, and bwarney frank are proff positive that democratism/marxism is a mental disorder. Whats their message, “we know you like epic, mega, ultra, apocalyptic levels of sucking so vote democrat”.
I Goggled it, and yes Burma, Boise does have a zoo! So obviously their elephant cage attendant is manning his (or her) shovel and is ready for action even as we speak. Truly a shovel ready job.
No elephants? Not important. In the America of today what is important is having a shovel ready elephant cage attendant standing by and ready for action.
Just replace the UFO with a job Obama has saved or created.
Why not? Both would be imaginary.
Here is another post on the same topic. Do the Democrats get it?
Two jobs for the Boise Zoo. Blue Elephant Painter and Poop Scooper! Nice! So what’s the problem with Boise? Did they not fill out forms to like hit the Federal Bailout Jackpot or what? You should see downtown Minneapolis! The whole place has been redone. New streets, sidewalks, statues, drinking foutains! We bellied up to the ole’ trough here!
@Ussjc: You should see downtown Minneapolis! The whole place has been redone. New streets, sidewalks, statues, drinking foutains!
You forgot about kurans in the urinals, feet sinks in the airports, and madrasas on every corner.
Teh homersexuals do the stall thing at the mooslem feet washers der at de airport doncha know?
Hmm…so, let’s review. The proclaimed “greatest communicator of all time” spreads your message, in hundreds of speeches, with a worshipping press that never raises a single negative question, and he still can’t sell it? That’s how bad their ideas are…
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding !
We have a winner. Cleans-up T-shirt on Aisle 20, Frank.
I didn’t know how far behind the Jihad curve I’d fallen. I had to google up “airport foot washers” to figgur out what new level of dhimmitude we’d hit. When, oh when, will airports provide equal accommodations for Aqua Buddhists?
Boise is better known for the blue Boise State football field that for being Boise.
“Boise? Never heard of it. Where is it?”
“I hear it’s in Idaho.”
“What? Is it a type of potato?”
“No, no. They got this blue football field.”
“Oh, yeah, I saw it on ESPN.”
