Republicans Laugh, But Women Relate to 'The Life of Julia'

07 May 2012 11:39 #1 by JSG

Here’s the brief: Communicate to women in a succinct and visually appealing way how, at every stage of their lives, Barack Obama’s policies would be more beneficial to them than those of his Republican opponent.

For the Obama advertising team, the solution was simple: create a non-descript fictional everywoman and show her at defining moments of her life: going to school, opening a small business, enjoying affordable prescription medication as a senior.

From ages 3 to 67, we see Julia taking advantage of every policy that would be in place should Obama be reelected, while being informed of everything Mitt Romney has said he’d do away with should he win the presidency.

What Obama and his campaign staff did was communicate the "Siren Song of Socialism" - through the action of government, a good life for all can be created.

Post a topic worth debating and you will get a debate, post 1001 variations of how much you hate Obama, and 2001 various personal attacks on liberals, LJ, me, JSG etc, and you won't get much back except contempt. You reap what you sow.

Statistically, funding has jack to do with the quality of education. Curriculum is where it's at. Eyes to Douglas County, which now allows concerned parties to choose said curriculum; I won't be wrong on this.

Race to the Top has done a similar level of jack.

Student loans are a bigger racket than Fannie and Freddie. If I were Julia, I'd rather pay for the surgery than the liberal arts degree, and any twenty-six-year-old worthy of the age can. Even presuming the Obama payment plan doesn't drive the colleges into the ground, we can welcome Julia to a life of indentured servitude.

Lily Ledbetter Equal Pay: See: Jack, above.

Hey, crazy thought: why not tie health insurance to the individual? That'll give a competitive edge to the companies who don't engage in bureaucratic obstructionism, by gar, and it'll certainly let Julia choose birth control.

People were getting sonograms just fine before you swooped in to save the day, Obama.

Small Business Loan: Truly, Obama giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other. Also, ever hear of a bank? Also, I mistrust these so-called "cuts" down the line. These figures always seem to ignore the Congressional Budget Baseline.

Medicare and Social Security: Unsustainable, not that Romney will dare dial them back incrementally like a responsible politician. Won't be pretty when that structure crashes down about our ears.

Really, if Julia is a preschooler at this point, current projections say she's screwed by the time she turns eighteen. What with the economy ceasing to function and all.

The sad thing about Julia is how incapable she is. Give me the strong women who are proud to do it on their own. And also sad is what this says about liberal women. Females are unable to succeed without the man giving them stuff.

I agree, the same thing could be said about skin color.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

Yeah ...I did that, as a single mom, and a liberal. It seems to me that it is the conservatives that want women to be dependent.
