I just realized why self-defeating attitudes must be avoided. We have a winning strategy for the future, not withstanding some loose ends. But the point is that we've got it locked down. Don't be defeatists. Moderates could not care less who is right or wrong, they just want to be unaffected by politics. In other words, they do not want to be losers when one party wins, and winners merely when another party wins. They just want to pick the winning party. And we are winning, let's not forgot that. At the same time we need to make sure that anyone who represents death and destruction has no chance of gaining control ever again.

2. Yeah... that would be one of the loose ends I mentioned
Maybe we can soon admit that the ME conflict is about oil, and nothing else?

3. You've got that wrong and we are reaping the hazards of the big tent policy
The DLC and the Blue Dogs are effectively blocking any progressive legislation that the REAL Democrats can put forward.

4. Thanks, but I was just wondering...
Actually, I know Democrats are great on domestic issues. However, when the time comes that world oil will last only 5 remaining years or so, or we can steal it and live comfortably for another 20 years, which choice should the government make?

I'm sure people who have a plot of land couldn't care less.
