REPUBLICANS: "My God, what (an effing) mess---A loss is what the GOP's political class NOW expects."

79. Run again

I'm sorry but there are some places that we have to just play sisyphus with. It really is how it is done. The issues actually matter and when we allow the DLC to cherry pick their favorite list of ex republican opportunists we get what we deserve: A bunch of useless guys that will vote against the party and against the president by squatting on key committees and kill legislation before it even makes it to the floor (and thereby maintain a seemingly tolerable voting record).

Again, we have to move the damned middle. We do this by being unified in message with a solid vision and the ability to differentiate ourselves from the republicans. I would like to throw a smelly dead rat at the first Democrat that was stupid enough to say "I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative." Why not just jump up and down with a megaphone and shout "Democrats are stupid with money!" Now there are Democrats that are fighting the idea that conservatives are conservative with money while republicans are disowning that Albatross Bush as not being 'truly conservative.'


Running to the right of running to the right of running to the right decimated our party nationally. We sold out quite a bit of economic liberalism and progressivism and many of us still use language suggesting that helping big business helps us all somehow.

The truth would by my suggestion. I know it seems silly or archaic but I think being honest about these things might be an interesting change of pace.
