WHY WE DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME SO ADEPT AT LOSING ELECTIONS
CHECK OUT THE THREAD AT www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=214x61349 - ESPECIALLY MANY OF THE RESPONSES

"BIG ED SCHULTZ" (COMES ON RIGHT AFTER AL FRANKEN IN MY MARKET - KQKE IN SAN FRANCISCO) REPEATEDLY GETS ON THIS ISSUE --

ONE OF THE MANY MANY REASONS WE DEMOCRATS HAVE BECOME SO ADEPT AT LOSING ELECTIONS IS BECAUSE OF OUR PSEUDO INTELLECTUAL, PSEUDO SOPHISTICATED ABILITY TO MOCK SCRIPTURE AND TO MOCK PEOPLE OF FAITH

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHAT A TURN OFF THAT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIVE IN EITHER THE "I-95 CORRIDOR" OR THE "I-5/US 101 CORRIDOR - I CAMPAIGN, I WALK PRECINCTS, I MAN PHONE BANKS, I GO TO FUND RAISERS -- THIS IS JUST PLAIN SUICIDAL FOR DEMS.

1. I think greed and incompetence is killing the party
You've got people who are more interested in holding onto their seats in Congress than they are representing the people, and you've got people who are in positions of power that shouldn't be there at all based on merit. When you've got people like Joe Biden taking corporate cash, you've got problems.

4. I have lived in Red states and swing states
this pseudo-intellectualism and pseudo-sophistication pisses off just enough voters "sitting on the fence" - Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, -- in mid-Continent swing states, to be a margin of difference.

5. Well, you either force the "Limousine liberals" out, or you vote Repub.
Those are your choices.

2. We win in states. Not of course where the voting is rigged.
We have to take back the voting boxes.

6. Get rid of the Meme
Quit "taxing the rich"--do you really think the "rich" keep their $$$ in a mattress??? Take an econ course...and dump the marxists. It didn't work in Russia. Please provide a better argument and a competent plan.
closet libertarian....'sigh' Give me a reason to vote as a Democrat.
