Why don't the Dems use the GOP's own radical platform against them?
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 12:52 AM by DaveSZ
We're a mainstream centrist party, and the GOP is clearly to the right of the Bill of Rights:

Do you think most Americans would actually support these radical religious extremist ideals?

I think not, thus we should actually distribute this document to show people how radical the party in power (the Falwell wing of the GOP) truly is.

:)

Most Americans believe in the separation of church and state, the right to choose, a clean environment, and proper funding for education.

The only conclusion that I can derive is that our message is simply not resonating with people and getting them excited enough to go to the polls. Either that, or the GOP propaganda machine is beating us handily.

2. I know..
But, most people aren't aware of the rise of the Religious Right within the GOP, and the damage they are doing to our Constitutionally protected freedoms.

We can help educate them of that fact at least, and that was the point I was trying to make.

3. I got "bandwith limit exceeded"
However, I do recommend this alternative, especially for those with high-speed connections
