Reply #13: Many of us who want to win hoped it would happen and were deathly [View All]

afraid that someone who wasn't willing to cover their bases on Democratic weaknesses and accentuate Democratic strengths would win the primaries and then lose the gen election in a land slide.

The last thing we needed was an anti-war candidate who didn't think the tax code neeeded to unburden the middle class and shift some of that burden on to the people at the very top who've been making out like bandits for the past 20 years.

I don't understand why anti-war people don't put their energies into carring about the wealth transfer. The war is a subset of that larger issue. If there were no war, Bush would still be ripping off the working and middle class using some other mechanism. Would the anti-war people have complained if there were a candidate running who didn't care about THAT?
