OpEdNews.com: THE DEMS JUST DON'T GET IT!

The Democratic leadership just don't get it! Day after day, we hear them whine that we must become more Republican Lite in order to win. We should "move right" and be more conciliatory to our opponents if we want to earn more votes. In the Senate, our "leaders" bow to the will of the president in confirming the nominations of people who should not be allowed to serve in any capacity, but we hear the whine that "The President is entitled to have the people he wants to work with him". The House knuckles under to proposals to remove the only method by which the people can hold the feet of the corporate victimizers to the fire for their marketing of shoddy workmanship, defective products and dangerous drugs.

Guess there might not be as much wrong with Kansas, as there iswith thecandidates we nominate, eh?

5. This is the Kansan

that I know. People here don't know the truth from the lies because all they ever hear are the lies. We have been battling this for 3 weeks trying to get people educated about the Phelps ballot initiative that is coming up for vote in a week. Just as soon as we make 100 phone calls the other group, many churches among them, make 200 calls and totally misrepresent what this is all about. I am so discouraged by this. If we are ever able to be heard loudly the people flock to our ideas but the loud and persistent lies are killing us. Speak out Mary Pitt. It isn't the candidates it is the lack of being heard.
