We all want a Better World.. for all of us. Least wise, thats what we say we want.
The question begs: How?
Do the NFL thing, Look at the Pubs Past "games". Learn of their tatics and trends. Counter.
The Pub Party has given us Dems much ammo but we fail to use it properly and thus lose the skirmish/battle. Their choice of Bush is a disaster but they still maintain a level of loyalty and perserverance. They are conniving and devious.
We keep hoping to get a Magic Bullet, the perfect candidate. And this is where the Pubs have us. There is no perfect candidate. We just have to choose the best amomg our group and do our best to elect that person.
What we can do is to analyze what the Pubs have done successfully.
They have made NUMBERS very important. Meaning hot issues like abortion and gay marriages are brought to the forefront knowing the poll numbers support their position. They then pound this into the public knowing they got an edge.
Another thing they understand is IMAGE. Gore and Joe lost because of their IMAGE, whether true or not, don't matter, its the Image of being soft, weak, nerdy, geeky, etc compared to the Bush and Cheney, macho, cowboy, etc. Its all about the IMAGE/PERCEPTION. What we Dems can do?? Expose this shit for what it truely is, Image building, like in Photo Ops. And we have been doing this but somehow, the word has not yet reached Joe Six Pack. Or Perhaps, we have not yet articulated in such a manner Joe and brethern could listen comprehend.
And thirdly, we have our work cut out but its not impossible. We need to UNITE with a purpose, not with a "candidate". That will come later. We have to create an umbrella to counter theirs. Our Umbrella gatta be larger than theirs.
Come, we roll up our sleeves
