He wants Democrats to take his advice by proposing ideas like universal health care, universal child care, universal pre-school and universal school lunches. He said those ideas alone would win over 16 million women who otherwise wouldn't vote.

Why stop there ?!? How about raising the minimum wage to $50 dollars an hour, universal home ownership, universal automobile (new of course) ownership, and mandating 12 weeks of paid vacation a year... That should be good for at least another 20 or 30 million votes...

Of course all this will be paid for by "asking" the richest 2% to contribute more... unfortunately to pay for it all we would have to raise their marginal tax rate to 500%, but they are just mean ol' rich and its time they pay their "fair share". Of course in a few years the nation will be bankrupt and inflation will be running about 50% annually, but who cares as long as democrats can win votes?

At 82 he should have served in the military, yet I can find no reference to it.

I got another idea, listen to what another FReeper says...

Freeper N. Theknow says:
"It’s faster than a checkbook, more powerful than a Democratic demagogue, able to lay waste to a liar Kerry with the single click of a mouse. It's a little bird of truth, it's plain to see Kerry's unfit... it's... it's...SuperFReep!

Thanks for the info on the school. Perhaps his enrollment will drop around 50% Heinz now that you have posted the connection and name of the school.

I hope the rats take this senile old fool's advice and completely divorve themselves from reality.

The 83-year-old Democrat and John Kerry supporter released his book, "The Great Divide: Retro vs. Metro America," which chronicles a winning strategy for Democrats, according to Sperling. Ignore conservative values, he advises, and return to the days of FDR's liberalism.

Two points, this time:

1. FDR wasn't exactly last week.
2. There's no contest here; Retro beats Metro. Retro rules!

[TigersEye]

Metro? Isn't that sort of like a Yugo with less leg room?

The South, Midwest, Rocky Mountains are considered flyover land to the so called high society type of people who live in NY & LA. Some people in LA especially the hollywood type have a special contempt towards those of us who are not like them such as people who don't live on the coasts.

I was out in LA in the beginning of June and other parts of CA on vacation. In LA, I went to this restaurant to meet with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The Restaurant is called Paradise Cafe which is in the area of I-405/Vermont/190th in Torrance. I pulled up in a 14 year pickup Toyota truck that basically looked like a redneck truck (roll bar, double pipe back bumper, front bumper bar with big lights). I was dressed in shorts, t-shirt and sandals. I parked in front among expensive cars like BMW's, Porsche, etc. I walked in and I got some looks from some of the executive types and the head maitr'd. I kind of got some vibes that I was not exactly welcome in this fine establishment. I went over to the bar to get something to eat while waiting for my friend. The bartender was cool with me but cames from a down to earth walk of life. I noticed the mentality of people was quite different versus the Rocky Mountain states, Midwest, and the South.

Here in Colorado (not Denver/Boulder), most people accept you as you are and you can go to most establishments and see people from all walks of life. They also don't care where you come from as long as you are decent. Not much distinction between different classes.

I would not fit in with these Urban type of people especially in LA with my political viewpoints. Everyone even the poor drive nice cars but beneath the surface, how heavy are they in debt to support the lifestyle of keeping up with the Jones' ?

Even though I live in a modest house (paid for), have a Master's Degree and have some wealth as in stock investments (enough to where I can buy a Hummer or MB if I want to), if you see me, I am no different than any other average person.
