Reply #39: Flowery rhetoric without the substance [View All]

and ability to control like being for middle class opportunity,, everyone pulling a fair burden, being for a safe America, untapping potential, the things that the other side can take from you. How many times can we hear this sort of rhetoric of positive images and ideas The things that dreams are made of. The very stuff that Bush promised and couldn't deliver. Who can?

McGovern may not made the presidency, but he sure in hell influenced/made aware a lot of the US public who were willing to become angry enough to protest and if you don't believe this influenced the decision to withdraw from Vietnam you are wrong.

The potential candidate for the presidency can come up with positive plans, withdraw from Iraq as soon as possible even if it means defeat, make diplomatic reparations/amends to our European allies/the world for Bushs,s administration's lack of diplomacy and aggressive policies, and use some sort of FDR solution for our failing economy, maybe regulatory solutions, make work programs,etc. At the same time pound into the US public the fact that Bush has brought more problems to the US and the world than he has solved.
