Reply #2: You're BOTH RIGHT! The middle class has given up on Dems. [View All]

They've given up on the Unions too! The Unions used to be a vry powerful group, and now they're almost gone! I don't blame the Dems for that, the Unions got too drunk on power and money, and instead of gaining more, they've lost it all.

As to Kerry and his hunting ad...I've lived in a family of hunters for 50+ years. I don't know if it was the filming, the coreography, or what, but he just didn't look natural. It looked like a staged shot!

I think the OP is correct that most people don't really care if the US adopts civil unions, but they get crazy when anyone mentions marriage. I'm sure it does have religion at the foundation of their arguments, but we can't just ignore that! If we dig our heels in and refuse to even consider any changes in our positions, so will the opposition, and WE'LL LOSE AGAIN!


The Dems MUST put forth specific ideas to fix the problems everyone recognizes exist, and must include details of how they will implememt them!

We can blame our problems on the media, the lies of the opposition, the lack of a spine in our Party officials, or what ever excuse you believe, or all of them, but placing blame doesn't win elections!

I do believe Howard Dean is moving in the right direction, but we all must work with him. We need to work on a way to work around the obstructions we know exist.
