Unfortunately for us, there's little evidence that Democratic politicians, as opposed to the Democratic voter base, are any more interested or even able to keep jobs in the US. NAFTA screwed a lot of people over and was passed by Clinton and a Democratic congress, with no corresponding increase in the strength of the social safety net.

When people like these guys vote for Bush, that should be a signal to us that our credibility, the "ethos" part of Aristotle's three parts of persuasion, is SHOT and needs to be re-built. You cannot persuade if you have no credibility.
