a WINNING strategy!

House Democrats, trying to capitalize on conservative dissatisfaction with Republicans, are reaching out to Christian voters with radio advertisements critical of Republican proposals to overhaul Social Security.

...What?

Republicans have alienated the fiscal conservative base of the party with their crazy spending, expansion of expensive entitlement programs, and freaky domestic and international policies. Meanwhile, the religious right bloc is stronger than it's been in years, so much so that they've extended the abortion debate to begin advocating for limits on contraception. So, instead of galvanizing the socially liberal base - which has become disenchanted with the lack of direction and leadership in the Democratic party - and targeting the disgruntled conservatives that are sick of ridiculous deficit spending, the Dems are going after the strong-as-hell religious base of the Republican party by talking about social security, an issue for which the Dem position has generally been limited to "Bush's plan sucks"?

Good job, kids. Really fucking brilliant.
