Going to the center, what a novel idea

[elemnopee]

Pundits and Politicians are so quick to jump on the perceived value gap demonstrated by the presidential exit polls. Are these the same polls that pundits criticized for distinctively showing a Kerry victory in key battleground states? YES.

No one is worst than us Democrats with this perceived values gap, it usually goes something like this:

“Hey I got a novel idea, lets be more centrist and try and steal Republican voters since those polls say we can't get anyone to be passionate about our issues.”

Right wind punditry has been talking about a values gap for quite some time, vindicating them is the worst thing Democrats could do. 49 percent of Americans voted for a liberal Massachusetts trial lawyer, who, in between wind surfing and running billion dollar ketchup plants, devised new ways to fund welfare queens with Ted Kennedy.

Instead of pulling Democrats to the right maybe some one could devote some energy into ensuring no one has to ever stand in line for 5 hours to participate in the democratic process.

1. Voter reform is certainly a start

But the conservative old hacks in the DLC are already wailing about how the party isn't conservative enough while they completely deny the scope of election fraud that was needed to give Idiot a majority.

The DLC has neglected the party base for decades while whoring for corporate cash and trying to woo suburban yuppies away from the GOP. Their neglect of the warnings of impending voting disaster is almost as criminal as the fraud, itself.

Until and unless we dislodge these hacks from the center of party power, the party doesn't have a prayer of reforming elections, speaking to the working class hit hard by stupid conservative policies, or even reclaiming Christianity from the worshippers of Mammon.

2. I hope you're being facetious

"49 percent of Americans voted for a liberal Massachusetts trial lawyer, who, in between wind surfing and running billion dollar ketchup plants, devised new ways to fund welfare queens with Ted Kennedy."

Really. Is that what he did?

And I agree, no one should have to wait in line 5 hours to vote.
