One problem Democrats will always have is that they are not easy to talk into "Groupthink"

[AndrewP]

The one edge the Republicans will have in most elections is that they are easily led and don't tend to think issues through for themselves.

Sure, we have a tendency to do these things ourselves at times. But even this message board shows how Democrats tend to have a number of different opinions on issues, and a tendency to draw lines where we won't comprimise.

Republicans will sell their soul in a heartbeat to win an election.

I'm not saying we do this. Not at all. I'm just pointing out what will always be an issue, at least as I see it. It's the price we pay for having the type of people who tend to read, travel, etc.

1. By the way..."problem" only in terms of winning elections

It's not a problem in everyday life.

2. Prop 19 in CA

Here is one example of Jr. Rockets who touched the robes of Obama in droves a couple of years ago, smoke dope, yet
couldn't get themselves to the polls yesterday to vote for Prop. 19 in California. They are a unreliable group of voters.
