is a cohesive vision. Also I wouldn't blame the "Hard-Left" for not reaching out to the Middle. We are so fragmented that it is hard to come out with a message that can resonate with most Americans. We need an all encompassing message, that can appeal to them, and at the same time, to stay true to our beliefs. Compromise when necessary, however, we must keep a steady course. WE and our ideological ancestors have been the bedrock of all human progress for 500 years, we should not stop now. We must appeal to the center, while at the same time shifting it to the left, we can do that, barring some catastrophe by Bush, only slowly. The pendulum will swing back, if we continue to act on our beliefs.
