What advice would you give the Democratic Party leadership?

[kentuck]

Perhaps you think they need to be more aggressive in responding to the Republicans' ideas? Or perhaps you think they are doing just fine and don't need any advice from the peanut gallery? Perhaps you would like to see them offer some opposing view points to the Republicans Medicare plan? If you are not happy with them, what specifically would you advise them to do?

[villager]

1. The Republicans already have a party! They don't need two.

n/t

[damntexdem]

2. Show some spine and go on an all-out offensive against the GOP.

The Repukes have weakened themselves, and the Dems need to demonstrate that by hitting them hard and unrelentingly.

[LuvNewcastle]

9. Yep, people are starting to get wise to

their bullshit. Took them long enough. It's time to go in for the kill.

[RavensChick]

19. Exactly!

Just grow a pair and go in swinging!!! That would be my advice.

[Angry Dragon]

15. +1000

[kjackson227]

3. Identify and get rid of the Dems who are more interested...

in the welfare of their lobbyist buddies instead of the welfare of the American people.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. Isn't that the job of the voters? nt

[Coyote_Bandit]

4. Ummmm......

Grow a fucking spine - and serve to advance and protect the needs of Main Street American flesh and blood citizens.

And if you're not willing to do that then go the fuck away. We don't need more useless, spineless politicians.

[NightWatcher]

5. 1. Dont do anything stupid in the next 18 months 2. And prep for Romney as challenger

they may want to get with Trey Parker and Matt Stone about funding their Mormon musical to go nationwide.

"An attack on religion"? sure, whatever it takes to turn Middle America, Ma and Pa Bible-Thumper against Romney. The teabaggers like to bash Obamacare? tie it to Romneycare. This isnt a time to play nice. If they had ammo to use on us, they sure would. We must start framing the debate today. Attack, Attack, Attack!

[obxhead]

6. Act like Democrats!

Put the people before the corporations!

That would be a huge start.

[Motown_Johnny]

7. Big Ideas not small ones

Attack the regressive tax policies and compare their effectiveness to when we had progressive tax policies.


Attack the entire Republican party as being out of touch with reality and/or corrupt.


Go Big Or Go Home!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. Retire?

:shrug:

[barbtries]

PB

[QC]

13. Start representing the people who put you in office. n/t

[abelenkpe]

14. Please take the progressive budget proposal seriously nt

[MatthewStLouis]

16. Don't fear populism and class warfare!

Who do you represent anyway? Don't pander to big corporations and narrow special interests. Tell people why you are a democrat. We represent fairness and truth. We are the party of the little guy. We are the party of equality. We are the party of realism, science, and reason. We are also the true family values party. Keep your message simple and don't get caught up fighting against republican wedge issues. Don't be afraid to use the republican's extreme and untenable positions against them. Yes, we want the rich to pay their fair share in taxes and we are against corporate welfare, especially for highly profitable oil companies.

Also, listen to President Obama and do as he says (but not always as he does though).

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Being "not as bad" isn't good enough.

[emilyg]

18. Be honest with us. Listen

to us. Do what we elected you to do. Grow a spine.

[coalition_unwilling]

20. 3 words: "Tax the Rich!" In every speech and campaign appearance from

now through Nov 2012, those three words should start and end each speech.

Easy to remember, easy to repeat and forces the Repukes onto the defensive to defend the rich.

[Modern_Matthew]

21. Be more socialistic. nt

[kenfrequed]

27. Uhm

I don't trust your intent in this advice.

[OHdem10]

22. Get a Grip. Are you going to contiue to servie the Elites? OR

Will you become the parting of Working Class and Poor.

[AndyTiedye]

23. Expose the Corporate and Foreign Money That is Flowing to the Repiglickins

[TransitJohn]

24. Make candidates elected on the Party ticket actually try to implement the Party platform.

If not, look for another major party ticket to run on.

[Warren Stupidity]

25. stop being a bunch of whusses

start fighting for core democratic values

[Downtown Hound]

26. Beat me to it. n/t

[The Midway Rebel]

28. TURN LEFT!

Now! Please!

[Rageneau]

29. Hire Bartcop

Like ol' Bart says: "I can talk to America; I speak stupid."

[dbt]

33. Mega-BartCop-Dittoes!

:bounce:

[kentuck]

30. I see a pattern in the above comments.

Grow a pair.

[hifiguy]

31. First, end the wars overseas

and the "drug war" at home.

Second, read the collected public speeches of Franklin D. Roosevelt and enact his programs.

Period.

[Shagbark Hickory]
