If Kerry is going to be President and Saviour of the Democratic

[deminflorida]

Party...then he needs to do a couple of things...

1. Come to grips with the fact that Bush and the Neo-Cons Duped his Ass along with Gephardt, Edwards, and Lieberman.

2 Realize that Gephardt, Edwards, and Lieberman, and YES may I add Hillary Clinton were the primary reasons for this party losing the Congress in 2002.

3. Wake up to the fact that Democrats are not as stupid as the average Joe that watches FOX NEWS. So your not going to get away with the same SHIT that Bush has in his party for the past four years.

4. Pick a running mate that is going to consolidate the Party and galvanize it against the conservatives. I.E. a former grass roots opponent such as Dean or Clark. ALSO, MAKE SURE YOU ANNOUNCE YOUR CORE CABINET PLANS AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. (The Country is in the worst shape since the American Civil War and this will help swing voters to make an informed decision).

5. Come to the ultimate reality that if you don't pull this off in 2004 that your party is going to splinter into maybe between four to six partisan factions. It will be the end of the Democratic Party as we know it for Generations.

1. Going to splinter?

It already has! DU is a perfect example of that. I have never seen so much hate before over somebody's candidate losing in the primary. Some people here need to wake up & smell the coffee, our number one priority is to get rid of Bush & his cabal. Once that is accomplished, then we can work on Kerry & what we want to get accomplished. If step one is not achieved, step 2 is moot.

10. Naaah - we haven't splintered

Yes there's the WWE smackdown over who the VP will be, but we're all armchair campaign operatives, so it's only natural.

On the issues we are actually quite united I believe. That's why supporters of every primary candidate were heard talking about how their guy (or gal's) issues/policy/talking points were "stolen" by the others. How many people have said they like Kucinich on the issues, but either the country's not ready, the party's not ready, or he's the wrong messenger? Except for Lieberman (ewwww), we're pretty united I believe.

The country is changing, and many of us are doing it at the local level. 10 years from now, things will be very different, and I believe much better for the average american.

4. You are one brainwashed troll!

Everything you just listed, has been completetly and totally debunked. It's nothing but lies.

You have no message for this country. All you can do is attack and call people names.

BUSH'S ONLY HOPE, AND YOU KNOW IT, IS TO BUILD HIMSELF UP BY TEARING KERRY DOWN.

Bush has nothing to run on...he's losing the war on terror.

On top of that he's a chickenhawk running against a war hero.

3. so why did Kerry and Edwards do so well

[deminflorida]

8. Kerry, Clark and Edwards.....did well in the primaries....

Clark although new to politics but experienced in National Security and International Policy issues had the good sense not to burn bridges within the circles of his own ideology.

If Paul Wellstone were still alive he would still be in the Senate.
If Max Cleland hadn't been Diebolded, he would still be in the Senate.
