I really do. Some of the best advice I ever got was KIS-keep it simple. Part of the problem that most democratic arguments have is they get bogged down in the minutia of facts. The GOP in their simple mindedness always sound like they have a straightforward message. While it isn't true-there it is and we have to deal with it. This is such an elegantly simple argument that the simple mind has trouble refuting it. Save the facts for the policy makers, this is an argument that gives folks pause to think, even GOP.
