Say what you wish about poor Dem campaign strategy or messaging...

The brutal truth is, if we don't aggressively go after A) The corporate media B) The Citizens United decision, and C) Voting machine fraud, then we're just going to have to get used to being a fairly powerless and ineffectual party.

1. Yessir.

2. You forgot one - Go after the Republican Party and the Teabaggers

and not in a pleasant way.

Sorry, the time for negotiating and being nice while they kick us in the head is over.

Harry Reid needs to step aside.
Tim Kaine needs to step aside.

We need Folks like Grayson, Feingold and Dean who will get in Republicans faces. (These guys are outside the beltway now and can help us)

The Republicans have said they will not negotiate. That should be the end of the conversation.

[arbusto_baboso]

4. You are absolutely correct.

[MissMarple]

8. And we know how goppers negotiate..."it's our way or the highway".

Grayson, Feingold and Dean would be a dream team...in more ways than one. ;)

13. If we don't do those three things, going after Republicans is like

straining spaghetti with a tennis racket.

3. D) Political activity in tax exempt organizations, including churches.

[arbusto_baboso]

5. I thought about adding that one, but wanted to keep my OP simple.

[blondeatlast]

11. Not just churches, but THINK TANKS like the Heritage Foundation, CATO, and the

Eagle Forum, among hundreds of others.

[Tesha]

15. That would require actual activity from the Executive Branch.

They're not up to it. They may actually like the idea of tax exempt
organizations intruding into the political realm.

6. A-f**king-men!!!

7. You should have seen the armies of youth-groups turned out to march in community parades

around here - always for the Republi-tea party.

[arbusto_baboso]

9. I think you may have missed my point,

We could completely turn that around in Kansas, and it still wouldn't make ANY difference because of the 3 points I cited.

[blondeatlast]

10. Absolute truth. nt

[EFerrari]

12. That would be the "to do" list. And none of the items are new, really.

We lost Russ because we didn't defend McCain Feingold.

It's just a matter of how much we're willing to lose before we take care of business.

14. +1000

I agree 100% and we need somewhere to go with that.
