Reply #30: Reminds me of 1972 [View All]

[cosmik debris]

I was fighting the same old battle in 1972 for McGovern. Trying to move the Democratic party to the left to meet my expectations. Now I only want to get the Republicans out of office and I am glad to have an alternative. Even if it is imperfect.

You seem to be suffering from the same myopia (you call it courage)that the local Deaniacs suffer from. You see how popular Dean is, but you don't see how many people he pisses off. You look at his positives, but not his negatives. A Dean visit to most towns in Texas would cost twice as many votes as it gained.

Remember that the perfect is the enemy of the good. If you keep pressing for the perfect, you will end up with another 1972. Is that what you want?
