   Without common values and beliefs a party of any stripe is useless. If you stand for everybody then you stand for nobody.

   Ken Warren said, 23 days ago

   Sometimes if hurts to be right. Many of us who post here have been saying that Democrats have to get tough, and do something.

   The Republicans realized that they didn’t have to put up any ideas or programs, all they had to do was attack and attack, and the media, which love conflict, would print the charges.

   The Republicans also played to their base, got them upset, and involved. The Democrats ignored their base, which left us frustrated and, finally, disinterested.

   All the public saw were angery people, making charges (death panels) with no one answering or challenging them, so the public lost interested and turned away

   Unless the Democrats show some backbone and use their large majority to do something the Republicans will be back in power.

   Some folks also need to realize that thinking is actually using the top of the “backbone”, in the most important sense. We need to lose the impression that “jocks” are working from the right end of the spine for progress.

   Ken, I understand your point. It is a mirror of what happened in 2001 before 9/11. The Republicans held all the power, yet they failed to open ANWR, failed to open the Gulf, failed to build refineries, didn’t fix the illegal alien problem, etc. Everything we sent them to Washington to do fell apart. The entire world might be different if they had done what we sent them to do. The attacks of 9/11 might have never occurred. Not likely, but , we’ll never know.

   Maybe it is just what our government has become - no changes will ever occur, we, on both sides, will have our hopes rise, just to be dashed.

   Their list of who isn’t is behind the floor mat. Bring a microscope.

   Offer applies to ultra-conservatives only. Void to moderates like Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee and especially Dierdre Scozzafava,

   Warren–seems the attack Bush tactic of Democrats is backfiring–particularly in the only two governor races.

    A Lib is charging the Republicans with exclusionary practices? Try being Pro-Life in the Democratic Party. Try being for closed borders and taking control of our import and export imbalances. Try being for proven science instead of wishful thinking.

    puppysaurus- there are many within the Democratic party that are pro life, anti-immigration, and probably (like you) still believe the earth revolves around the Sun.

    Regardless, you don’t see the Democrats throwing the party’s support behind independent candidates who are more in line with party orthodoxy for spite. Unlike the GOP, that was very quick to throw Dierdre Scozzafava under the bus in the race for New York’s 23rd Congressional district.
