Get ready Dems. The Democrats talk about issues, the repugs
talk about the Democrats. I just realized this. Well, duhhh but that's basically the bottom line. I hope in November the Dems take it back to them and do a little "Swift Boating" of their own starting with integrity. That's what it's gonna take.
We "don't have a clear vision my ass".That's my rant for today.:grr:

1. This would be a good thing to promote.

Talking issues is the preferred way of course.It's the "American Way"!But if we don't take extreme action,then, it's gonna get really ugly.It makes me sick to think what we will have to do to take our country back after November, if we play fair and lose again.

I don't think it necessary to do stoop to their level. I think that your point is right on the mark.

'Democrats talk about issues while republicans talk about Democrats' . This is a great talking point. We should email this to all of our Democratic reps, senators and contenders.

2. All of the republicans I talk with are on the defensive now. Some issues:

Environment, voting machine suspicions, cuts in Social Security death benefit, Iraq messed up, wiretapping, cutting college aid, ....
