Bill Clinton Nails It
President Bill Clinton was out in Colorado speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival and he affirmed what we all believe. The Democrats will do well in November if they stick to the message and talk about issues that Americans care about.
Clinton also believes that the GOP strategy is weak; the whole idea of pandering to the GOP base by introducing legislation that is is bad for America is not going to do the job in the fall.
The Republican strategy is weak, he said.
“Let’s forget about global warming and talk about flag burning and gay marriage,” Clinton said. “I don’t know how long you can milk that old cow.”
Democrats, he said, need to focus on their differences with the GOP and on promoting what they stand for. One of those things should be fighting climate change, he said.
Clinton said America is losing jobs and its economy is suffering without investment in the future of energy.
“This decade’s new jobs are in clean energy, and we haven’t seized them,” he said. “We have a short time in the life of the planet to turn this around.”
He said Democrats should seize on the opportunity to stress the national security angle of clean energy. He said climate change is a far more important issue than he thought when he was in office.
The Republican plan for America = stay the course in Iraq and ban gay marriage. I guess Americans will really have a BIG choice to make.
