Only the most Passive and Destitute Dems need apply to run for Office. Then we can claim the moral
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 09:18 PM by Mike03
high ground, declare our candidates ethical and upstanding, and then justify yet again why they lose to repukes. Then when they lose we can complain that we were underfunded, not assertive enough and didn't play hardball against their opponents.

When are we going to wake the fuck up and realize that the only way we can change things is to grow up and play the same game our opponents play?

There's nothing honorable about losing anymore--because too much is at stake. Our country is on the edge of the abyss. And you know it. It's time to just drop the arrogance and demand change.

Otherwise, how else do you think it will come?

3. What I mean to say is: We are cutting off our nose to spite our faces.
Sorry for the cliche, but cliches seem to be in order:

Tossing the baby out with the bathwater.

My view is to grateful that my candidates had the intelligence, savvy and foresight to invest intelligently, have the net worth they do have so they can take on these sick SOBS who have hijacked our country.
