Is GOP Marketing the Problem? I Agree 100%

I have to agree with this post by Leigh Scott saying that the GOP needs a new marketing machine like the Dems had in the last 2 elections.

Did the Democrats put nationalizing the banks, firing corporate CEOs, and practically making out with Hugo Chavez in their trailer? Did their poster include Obama’s embarrassing world apology tour? I think not.

Yeah, most people didn't think Hope and Change meant "I Hope Hugo loves me" and all our kids will be left with is $1.27 in Change after the US defaults on its debt. They need to fix the marketing machine and fast.

I think the main problem with the GOP is letting their critics define them instead of defining their critics. Whenever the left calls any tax cut "a tax cut for the rich" the GOP needs to come back with "The Dems are calling anyone in the lowest tax bracket the rich. Our plan cuts your taxes but the Dems don't want you to have your own money. You earned it and you are hurting. Your kids need that money more then the UAW."

The AIG hysteria should have been framed as people getting death threats for accepting bonuses that the Obama administration and Dodd knew about for months. Why didn't these people block these bonuses or renegotiate these contracts way back when? Who in the administration knew what and when? Make the Obama people the villain and not the AIG employee trying to unwind the mess that other people created.

This Chrysler mess needs to be portrayed as a Union bailout and not "saving a car company." The Obama people instead bullied hedge funds who have legal obligations to pension plans and investors to recover as much money as they can from a bankrupt company. An American company was basically sold off to a workers union, an Italian car company, and the Canadian Government while the tax payer is on the hook for billions in losses. The GOP should be calling for the Car Czar's head to roll instead of soul searching and navel gazing.
