Why have Democrats swallowed the mythology concocted by the |
|
DLC types that we need to move towards the "center" ( whatever that is) in order to win? Have we forgotten that our message, as it was, in 2004,brought us close and would have put us over the top if we were more aggressive in appealing to our base and to have taken preventive steps, also aggressively, to stop voter intimidation, voter disenfranchisement,and any number of tactics against our proven voters?
The best example we have to debunk the mythology is Dean's enormous popularity among our voters when he stood up for our principles. We need more people like Dean and less like Zell Miller.In fact, I don't even know why we let Zell stay in our party and ruin us from within.

2. Mass Media play a BIG part in this. |
|
The phenomenon is akin to the one in which Democrats will NOT speak against the many evils of the BFEE for fear that someone will make fun of them on TV.
