Until the Democrats grow a spine.... |
|
...the Republicans will keep on winning elections.
They haven't grown one just yet, and while the next president will be a Democrat (probably Hillary Clinton), they can't run on the unpopularity of the Republicans forever. The American people will quickly forget.

5. People like me helped on the ground |

But unless they grow a spine, people like me won't help again.

2. Yeah. In fact, it would be best to lose this election |
|
With someone who is seen as a radical figure, Clinton isn't, but she commands a radical aura in the general population. Although, having someone even more radical get nominated would be better. We will alwways be seen as only a party to elect people rather than to stand up for something and will always lose these close elections. We need to retool the party and lose MASSIVELY a few times and maybe we will have a calamity 10 times as worse as everything happening right now but in the end, we will emerge victorious.

3. yeah your concern is so refreshing....just like the 100 other |
|
concern trolls, greens or any other group that says they have "concerns about the Dem chances in 08" even though most surveys show Dems probably be a landslide for the Dems

6. I am a lifelong Democrat, not a troll or a Green |
|
and I am concerned about 2008. Just because the media seems to be putting out the message that the Dems are a sure thing doesn't mean that is what will happen.
