i dont know who the fuck you think you are when you accuse others of defeatism or dirty tricks when coming to different conclusions upon examining the available data.

pollyanna postivism is about the most stupid thing that the democrats can do this next 12 months.

democrats are in disarray, there is no defining philosophy.

the GOP has a quarter billion dollars to flood the airwaves come next fall.

the mass media is directed by ensuring that the dominant narrative dovetail with corporate and GOP concerns.

the vaunted grass roots the dems boast about as their over-riding advantage is effectively being countered by a like grass roots network on the Right, and which has issues that activate their base greater than the left's.

i like a good fight too, but i'm not stupid enough to pick a fight on terms i can't win, and i'm not about to use rhetorical devises that have no affect.

the busheviks hold the high cards, and absent a dramatic increase in violence in iraq, a devastaing terrorist attack on US soil, or an economic disaster, bush will carry the day next november.

i am not a defeatist, i am not a minion of karl rove. i am looking at the date objectively, using history as a lens, and dont see how in the hell the democrats can win to white house in 2004.

the democratic party will have to initiate massive energy to activate its base, spend millions on grass roots organization, have the complete backing of labor and the unions' rank and file to particpate in the campaign, and have a leader who will bring all the disparate parts of the party together.

i see no candidate doing it, at least not one who can serve as president viz., bill clinton.

the day where a person who believes in dealing with political realities instead of working from wishful thinking is considered a defeatist is the day when the lunatics take over the asylum.
