What do progressives need in a great ultily grade local, state, and national political speech?  Well we are always working on that here in blogland, wether we know it or not.

Even our right winds fiends ...er friends, are helping the dialectic produce it. 

We merely need to glean.  Glean the perfect speech from the "aether".   Calling on the political muse. 

Jobs that last, good jobs, based on sustainable renewable energy and next generation techology like solar and wind power and electric plugin vehicles.  Jobs in local economies, like farming, logging, manufacturing, recreation, real estate, construction.. that all rest on long term local economic health, instead of short term corporate destruction.  Powerful interests corrupting local government and selling resources out cheap for temporay profits and temporay  jobs.

 An affordable health insurance safety net preventing all these catastopic bankruptcies due to uninured medical disasters, very personal family disasters. Health insurance that lasts so older workers can get jobs, companies are freezing people likely to have uninsured heatlh problems out of hiring, right into financial trouble. 

Older baby boomers missing affordable health insurance are at the age where they tend to vote consistently.  This issue is vital.  My idea would be to lower the medicare age 2 years every year until everyone is covered.  But means test medicare so those with over say 200,000 per year income do not get the benefits they don't need, they can afford their own insurance.

Now to reframe all this into bumper sticker slogans!  Hehehey.

As the evil, sulfur fuming GOP political consultants say, "we have a bumpersticker, they have an essay."

Their thinks tanks, Heritage foundation, Cato Institute, American enterprise Institure make up those bumperstickers, it's up to us progressive bloggers to get our bumpers stuck.

Let's all challenge our favorite blogs to work this out, dialectically.
