Remember that video?

Rep. Paul Ryan (R) from Wisconsin made a video not that long ago about his "Roadmap for America" that I thought was very well done.  It was short, sweet, to-the-point and available on several sites online for instant viewing.

There was another video, whose creator I don't recall, that was made to counter the liberal argument that anyone making more than $250,000 should be taxed at a higher rate to pay down the deficit.  The video took a 100% tax margin for all the top earners in professional sports, movie actors, rock stars, all of Congress and the President and Vice President, the top 50 corporate CEOs... an entire litany of famous (and surprising liberal) people and showed categorically that the entire lot of them couldn't pay off the deficit for ONE year, let alone multiple years.

Now, imagine that sort of tool utilized by the GOP candidates (or any conservative, in office or out) to show the fallacy and hypocrisy of the liberal agenda.  Almost any point of contention that they could wish to show could be presented in such a way as to make it easily understood that the "facts" the liberals try and line up aren't facts at all, and they never, NEVER line up.  Their agenda has been in place almost constantly since 1965, and has accomplished none of what they promised it would, while the few years that the conservative agenda was in place, we saw specific and measurable results that benefited the nation's economy and infrastructure.  They can even show that conservative "compromise" made during Nixon/Ford years and the Bush Jr. years had hurt the nation... equally easily.

Why isn't the effort being made?  Where is the push to get the "message" out to the public this election cycle?
