Let's not forget abandoning the "Poor" issue and the "Health Care " issue |
|
hey, if we threw THOSE over, we'd really be somewhere.
Downtown hell, next to the * wing.

1. Jobs, Education, Health Care. Let's work those themes into a clearer |
|
narrative about what Democrats believe in.

2. It always interested me how during the campaign Kerry always |
|
mentioned the "middle class" but rarely spoke of the poor and working poor.

3. Absolutely. When Clark wanted to have families up to 50,000 not pay |
|
taxes at all, Kerry took the same position as Faux: "but thy need to contribute too" "they did - sending their kids to war - Clark answered the Faux bimbette.

4. I disliked that rhetoric, and it may have hurt him with minorities |
|
Who almost certainly understood the code.
As I heard it, "Middle Class" meant "white people in swing states."

is the biggest voting block. We haven't done a good job in getting the poor to vote.

6. Christ Capn, you're pushing the same strawman argument? |
|
Who, other than Zell Miller, is proposing abandoning ANY faction of the Democratic Party? Is there any room for reflection after another loss by this party? You're a big Dean supporter and he tried to make the case time and again that we have to find a way to communicate with the people that are voting against their own interests by voting puke. You didn't hear him pushing for gay-marriage, you heard him pushing for civil rights.
