Newsweek's Jonanthan Alter's "The Democrats' 'Toughness Gap'

[SeekingTruth]

Alter has a great essay in the Sept 6 Newsweek that describes our problem.

Hope someone in the Kerry campaign will read it...

Don't know if this link will work or not...

1. Good read for Kerry camp and DU in general.

2. Good article, poor title

Has little to do with 'toughness' and a lot to do with honesty and integrity

3. The one thing that I severely disagree with is this ...

"If Kerry loses, the Washington Democratic establishment may be done, too. Fire-breathing liberals, mirror images of the ideologues on the right, will take over the party, likely dooming it to yet more defeat in a country that is fundamentally moderate. Kerry can prevent that by finding his voice and finally crystallizing his indictment of Bush in a few words that voters can actually remember..."

I believe wrestling the control of the party from the Washington Democratic establishment aka the DLC'ers will be the most beneficial thing for us.

4. Dems won't take on the RePukes how can I believe they will take on terror!

That is the question that is being asked and it is legitimate. Kerry has allowed himself to be sandbagged by the media, Bush, and McCain. The public can see this!!! Nice guys finish last!! No one wants to be last against the terrorists.

5. I'm sick of

the GOP Nazis claiming that liberals do not have the guts to fight. Democrats have started more wars than GOPers!!!! We now have a genuine war hero and the RePukes are smearing him!!

IS ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS??? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
