I'll summarize:
* "Centrism" is the New Left.
* It was proved in the 90s that "Issues" only hurt the Party, and are to be avoided or assigned to The Green Party and then blamed for hurting the Democratic Party.
* "Bi-Partisanship", and the new version 2.0
"Post-Partisanship" are the new code words.
Essentially, the Republicans get everything they want, but the Democrats get to say, "We put in
protections."
Then they all appear on TV praising each other and saying
"We moved the country forward. America is safer."* Criticism of the
Party Leaders is to be swiftly scorned, ridiculed, or marginalized. This is critical because under a "Centrist" doctrine in the era of
Bi/Post-Partisanship, there will be very little
operational difference between the two Parties on major issues, so something as small as public criticism can actually turn an election. Remember, we have moved past a platform based on "Issues". It is now ALL about
perception.
* The Democratic Party will remain
Authoritarian. The Party Leaders "decide"....PERIOD.
Howard Dean got the
commoners all riled up, and they need to be quickly put back in their place. "The People" have not had a
voice in government for a long time, and it is not time to start now. Talking Points are available and should be quickly disseminated for use against those
uppity assholes on the InterNet.
Once they accept
Their Place in the Democratic Party, they will be much happier.
"Centrism"...because it is so EASY!
You don't have to STAND for ANYTHING, an get to insult those who do!
