Why the Democrats Could Lose By Robert Parry, from consortiumnews.com

[Paranoid Pessimist]

I believe that this not only "could" happen but is likely to happen, although, as always, I hope I'm wrong.

3. And, according to him

only Clinton and Obama are in the race, no one else was mentioned.

4. True.

They seem un-willing to talk about what all of us owe one another by virtue of the fact that we call ourselves "The United States of America". They're afraid to take charge of the word "Socialism", being afraid of it, they are vulnerable to it and hence unable to say how we CAN fulfill our responsibilities to everyone without being leaches on one anyone. They've accepted the false dichotomies about Economic Justice and made this a zero-sum game which they are loosing (with NO skin off their own noses).

Dems Still have not got it; they will get their asses handed to them again if they don't step up to the plate and impeach and imprison

And Pelosi et al had better come clean about their part in the torture debacle and SET THE FUCKIN TABLE OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY

6. I think the only way we can loose

is by an off chance the Obama gets the nomination. Damn if that happens we are sunk.

7. Yeah. I'm a lot more interested in throwing out the weasels in Congress

than in which suit-droid gets to be pResident, although that matters too.

9. K & R - Bob Parry has been watching with horror for more than 20 years

He is a sane, a rational voice, at a time when so many of us who can see are so freaked out we can't make rational-sounding arguments because our eyes are metaphorically bugging from staring into the eyes of New Hitler, Kinder and Gentler Hitler, for seven years.

Thank you, Robert Parry.

10. No one should underestimate the Rethugs

Another good article by Parry last week, saying the neocons may be down but not out!
