Democrats Agonise Over Anti-War Stance

"If someone can take out Lieberman on an anti-war platform then most Democrats should be thinking that ought to be their platform."

Dems have no principles whatever. No plan; no vision for American; no sense of the real world we live in; no proposals for the future; none. It's all about what it takes to win elections. They're despicable. I hope they all become cut-and-runners, and lose BIG in November.

The drama, which has the potential to tilt the party to the Left,

Huh?

Thankfully, I don't think the people are stupid enough to elect Democrats.

Hello Defiant.

I wish I shared your optimism, but I believe that people are that stupid.

The margin of victory in the last four elections testifies to that. Millions of people in this nation vote for Democrats. When Marion Barry ran after his cocaine scandal, people who voted for him said the videotape was fake and a conspiracy.

I try to never underestimate the stupidity of people.

Well, let me put it this way--

The majority that voted for Bush last time is not stupid enough to think they can trust Democrats to protect the country. I personally think that Bush ran a lousy campaign, and that a strong candidate should have had 55 percent at least. Reagan would have had over 60 percent in wartime. So, again, a person who articulates the conservative position well, and does not shy away from exposing the inadeqacy of the Democrats, should be able to win, even granting the stupidity of Democrat and many independent voters.
