I think many of our problems lie in Democrats being dull. I was listening to CSpan this morning and so many of the Democrats who call up are either incoherent, obsessive compulsives who need their next dose of Prozac or just plain uneducated. Republicans have their losers too; those who are a few pillowcases short of being KKK members or they have their Prozac poppers also but the consistency of their callers is better than ours. Most of their callers have the advantage of being able to drop one-line paradigms. Our callers need to dispel these misleading one-liners and explain what fairness means. So that task for the Dems is much harder.
The same is true for the politicians. After CSpan, I put on "This Week" with Stephanopoulos. He had Harry Reid on. I found myself hitting the remote because I got bored. We need more dynamic speakers who will entertain Americans while they tear the Republican's hearts out .
John Kerry was the epitome of boredom because he never incited us with a challenge to Bush and that is an understatement. Kerry's level of political constipation must be exorcised from the Democratic Party. New Democratic leaders have to be freewheeling and tough. They have to go for the jugular and appear that they love doing it because they'd also do the same to the enemies of the United States.
I wonder if people on here realize what happened in the last election. I wonder if they realize the magnitude of having the Democrats so mobilized with anger and hate against Bush and still losing to that lazy, arrogant imbecile, who could have been branded with being asleep at the wheel before 9/11 and juvenile and lying after 9/11. Americans voted for him against their best interests because Bush will turn this country on it's head with SS reform, SCOTUS destruction (and the courts below it) and the destruction of a once great economy. Did you hear any of that from Kerry or the other Democrats? Now, the Democrats are afraid to tell people why we lost the last election. Kerry fucked up, say that and you take away Bush's mandate and you recharge Bush with all the things Kerry never charge him with.
Republicans realize that the effort to win has to come from the grassroots, with everyone telling Democrats and Independents how bad Democrats are, how weak and immoral they are, how anti religion they are and how fiscally irresponsible they are. They just keep on coming and they are all good and love arguing and tearing apart Democrats. We don't fight. We don't fight at the "politician level" and we don't fight at home. We don't want to talk about these things. When was the last time you heard a Democrat call a Republican a hypocrite. All Republicans are hypocrites and the worst kinds yet you never hear that from the Dems.
We accept the failings of John Kerry and blame at the GOP GOTV. How stupid can we be? From now on, John Kerry has to be a distant memory and we need to begin to fight really hard at all levels. We need to go after Republican greed and lies and ridicule them to oblivion. Or, we should all join the Republicans and ruin their party like we are ruining ours! I don't think Howard Dean is the guy to lead this. I don't think Dean is tough enough. Dean's only claim to fame is that he chose to oppose the war in Iraq, while he never had to vote for it. His positions on everything else and his anger for all the things the Republicans do, is not where it needs to be to win. He may be angry with Democrats but I never saw the anger translated to Republicans. He couldn't even win against Democrats. What makes anyone think he could beat down the next Republican candidate, who probably won't be a lazy, illiterate liar like Bush? Richard Ben Veniste could do it and he has beaten down the Republicans, wherever he's confronted them. Those are the kinds of people we need to look for.
