I have been happing on this fact for a long, long time now that the tendency to appease and appeal to the undecided and independent fence-sitters would be disastrous for us. I especially lay the blame on the DLC for pushing this policy of moving to the right of the political center. It did not help us 1998, 2000, 2002 and surely it did not help us in 2004. It is still a wonder that all the high priced consultants in the DLC and DNC have never been able to put these things together and make the necessary adjustments. Well here we are again lost in political wilderness and at the complete mercy of the reThuglicans with the voting public not giving a damn how we fare from here on. Whatever we decide to do we have to harken back to the liberal principles and stand strong for something other than for what brings the most money into our coffers.
