1. I don't reply to being accused of racism, homophobia, etc. Your attempt to imply that by espousing "winning" I must be some sort of Rove-monster is, in itself, a Rovian slime trick.

2. One more time: yes, the purging of the voter rolls was a very bad thing, and that alone would have made the difference for the presidency. What you don't seem to understand is that crying about the depths other side is willing to sink to does us no good. We can win through unity, and only then will Dems have the power to fix the vote tampering and electoral fraud.

3. LOL. So few posts? Do you think DU is the only political forum in the world? Little perspective: when I was having this argument with Green Party folks in 2000 there was no DU. And I was already a political veteran by that point.

4. Gore "abandoned the party", so you voted Bush into office. Brilliant. With friends like you we don't really need Republicans... until it's time to start a war or something.

5. Kerry lost for many reasons, mostly to do with the zeitgeist of post-9/11 hysteria. But you seem to forget that Bill Clinton won TWICE by taking the center. We will have the presidency again ONLY by using his methods. It's more a math thing than an emotional issue.
