Reply #103: "Most of the day to come up with something" [View All]

[Q]

You must know that one can't spend 'most of the day' on the internet when there is work to be done and bills to pay? Your arrogance is astounding...expecting people to answer questions on your time frame.

I believe that it's YOUR problem that you can't see the forest for the trees or what has been happening to the Democratic party for over a decade. Do you seriously think that the party suffering the worst setbacks in HISTORY is simply a fluke or coincidence? Do you think it just might have something to do with the lack of opposition and the abandonment of so many social issues?

The evidence is clear: The Democratic leadership has not only signed on to harmful Bush* policies and legislation...they haven't gone on the record as opposing them. They bitch and moan about taxes going to the richest Americans and then allow the legislation to pass without much resistance...giving the Right the opportunity to say it's a bipartisan effort.

This is EXACTLY why Kerry couldn't use the pitiful Iraq 'war' in his campaign. Bush* simply shot back that Kerry and many other Democrats had voted for it and disagreeing during the campaign indeed looked like a 'flip-flop'. Democrats also have no useful argument against the Patriot Act or Bush's* criminal cabinet...since they helped install them.

The DLC moderates have essentially controlled the Democratic party since Clinton took office. You can use simple equations to determine if their corporate friendly, concede to get along approach has been effective. History shows that the Democratic party has NEVER been in this sad of shape. There is no one to blame for this but the failed leadership of the DLCers and their enablers. DLCers bitch about the 'failed policies of the past'...but they won't discuss their failed policies of the present.

How do the DLCers respond to this most recent loss? They won't talk about election fraud or Bush* dirty tricks. Instead...their idea is to become more like the opposition and frame our policies to fit what the Republicans want us to become.
