The baseless, and failed, "move to the center" cliche

Why do Democrats continue to follow the same strategic advice that has produced one failure after the next?

The letters thread is now closed.

Don't believe everything you read

From propogandist for profit websites. Pathetic.

I don't care anymore. Obama or bust 08'. :)

If he loses you can have this fascsit police state. I'm fleeing presecution as my ancestors did. they came To America. If mccain wins millions will flee FROM america. you deserve the universal scorn and the economy you get as a result. Get ready for where we are now times 5. Enjoy yoour police state nazi's. I sure won't be here.

I'm sure that will make you people happy. Let me start now.

PEACE.

good luck to the readers. Keep you chin up. These propgoandists don't represent the majority. I think 10% of clinton supproters won't vote obama in the ge. these loud vocal propogandists are the minority. Not the magority. Fret now. These sad republcains are just scared animals backed in the corner. they will not win. the world and patritoic americans will nto allow us to continue down the bush fascist path. this is not america. We will restore america and point our these fascsit traitors for who and what they are.

Peace.

Remember Pat TIllman (san jose, ca), and what he represents. do nto fear or give credibility to the flag wearing party loyaists. they are not patriots. How many will sign up to fight in president obama's military? PArty loyalist red coat traitors.

Just to set the record straight, the quote you attributed to me was the one I used from Crooks and Liars and credited to Nicole Belle.

Yeah Obama is proving here that he will once again be held captive to media constructs, no matter how lame and absent of thought they are. And of course he's also proving once again that those around him will be jettisoned as needed for perceived political gain or the avoidance of perceived political pain.

The media is proving that, like Bob Schieffer, they are so emotionally wed to their feelings for McCain that they can't have a reasonable conversation differentiating between the actualities of a military record and the qualifications to become President.

McCain now, according to Huffpo has hired an ex Swift-Boater in order to help him defend against these scurrilous attacks.

You know what P.O.W. stands for? Politically. Oportunistic. Weasel.

Pinky quoted Obama

“given the enormous challenges that lie before us, we can no longer afford these sorts of divisions.”

In other words, we should all STFU. He's making this harder and harder.

I guess that means that when he refuses to "capitulate" to MoveOn's cries for him to oppose FISA...

he will be showing spine-of-steel.

Gosh, it's so sad ;-((( (sad face) that he can't show his **r*e*a*l**t*r*u*e**c*o*l*o*r*s** because of what he's gotta do to get elected .....

cue cindy lauper .... ((yes, I'm going to be sick too. ))

So Where is the Evidence that Democrats Can Win a National Election From the Left?

Glenn bleats and hollers about Democratic 'compromises' and endlessly asserts that Democrats are better situated to win national elections from the Left than from the center, but where's the evidence? The Democrats haven't won a national election on 'Democratic' principles since 1964. The few national electoral successes they've had - Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and the 2006 mid-terms - have all come at times of extreme GOP weakness, and the campaign strategy in all those elections was a run to the center from the Democratic candidate or candidates. There's no history of success for Democrats running a national campaign from the Left, so why do you think it will magically start working now?

My lame foot thought's worth.... (skip any reader you wish) there is thunder coming upon the mountain now as I spew...

Read people such as rufus11 as you would read a character in Plutarch's Life, Volumne 11. Rufus11 is funny to me too, E`you Sinnard.

I believe he was misspelling EGour in jail.

EYE`errr and Chris Robbins like honey.

Piglet, Kanja, Winnie the Pooh are @ UT.

I'd love to have a cup of sassafras root tea.

I hope Little Brother has no more root canals.

`

Read Plutarch's account, in human psychology terms, way back then, o POLITICS... when Cicero or a Alexander would not bow and venerate debauched politico's, left, right, or boasting center. There is Cato,Tiberias "In revelling and Bacchic play." I know a J.Baca. He has a belly filled with scars.

A center on a football team may release foull wind that's no dithyrambie ode, according to the defense tackes? Most people were free shrinks. I mean... everyone~anyone... who dare speak their unique perspective, whatever frame of Mind, or 'handle' the otters (people) thought of them. Who gave a soccer punch ball? O suckers. No need to be "falling out" or falling head-over-feet, in love's-frenzy]s with anyone?

Possums get frisky.

Alexander reproached people bitterly. Rufuss11's ruckus took me to Alexander. Of course there was only one of Cato, Rummy, and praise tiger tiigur, that there is only one rufuss11 and one Glenn. Ug.o.|?|, and of course, and sure enough-people need to be WHO they are at their Best. Good. Better, and Best. Butter, Bitter, BOOB goes a BOOM bubble. The people would boast, `Who tossed the biggest stones in the "old" days. We boys still haven't dropped a gonad sack of seeds and did a day's work of honest plowing a furrow. /? Who has big moron ears? Moroseness.

Consult Delphi? Hi! Partner.

`Who is esteemed improper

B.O.

O BOO! Me. Mr. McCain too?

True or False multiple course.

What a gruel. in k`garden class,

I loved the guessing Law test.

I flopped at Law and Politick.

Well. Bah gets a battle-axe award. No sophistry is found in bahuhbug. rufus11, and babble bug bah hum a tune. Hymnal are passed about. The [r`fuss ^2 + duh. huh. tsk zero+0 42].

and it's clear as a bell [~,~ (ykw) is goose dung=0! ^ ~?~] Poor Glenn. |,/|*|/,|.|!

O. "fugue" is said as a bit mesmerized as one can get. Do we get partial credit for True/False guest? I;m a guest with no cents.

Go take a walk in a outdoor sprinkle.

It's a silver and misty evening. listen.

Nature is entertained. Nature entertains guest..

Each other is MESS`a`engern's. Who ate the scones?

Who stole my vanilla waffle cone? The quarrels then (long ago, and now) were about whether to send thirty thousand troop's feet, four thousand horses, and should the pay-ment-script be 70-talents? A retiree may go off to relax from a military pension benefit, and a weary of war, cranky dude, could be as happy or as lazy as a red piss ant or log chewing beaver with a flip-flopper fat tail. ( the tiny ants crawl on my cherry wood computer table at the moment) R.M. Patriot could go to a lazy patriot's farm and milk sheep all day. The haranguers dost stay to stir dust.
