They are pro birth not pro life.

They are a death cult. They are no more "pro life" than a turkey farm on the day before Thanksgiving

Paxton is a vile, disgusting pile of garbage and I hope Talarico kicks his butt in the upcoming election.

The abuse of his office by Paxton should be met with serious consequences. It won’t be, because …Texas.

Dems need to get better at attaching labels to loony and corrupt opponents. And we must also improve when it comes to repetition. These are some of the basics of successful advertising.

Republicans have no problem with this. They managed to transform "anti-abortion" into "pro-life" through relentless reiteration.

We need to improve on identifying Paxton as "Crooked Ken" to the degree that no further explanation would be necessary for a majority of the public.

We are not at a post-doctoral seminar where one brief reference is adequate during the event. When getting a vital message across to the public, you never let up.

It's not like "Crooked Ken" is an inaccurate description. He is arguably the second most corrupt elected official in the US. And in the context of electoral politics, it's more important that voters associate him with being a crook than knowing every detail of his criminal deeds.

So when revealing some new facet of his endless misconduct and immorality, the appellation "Crooked Ken" should be applied liberally. People later might not be able to recall the specifics of the wrongdoing, but "Crooked Ken" will likely sink in and affect their overall impression of him.
