“I am here to tell you the Democratic Party has lost its way,” said a panel member, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. The problems are not with the “party’s core beliefs,” he said, but relate to “our inability to convey our principles to the American people in a precise, concise and passionate way.”

“Core Beliefs” and Principles?” They shouldn’t use words they don’t understand. Now, graft and corruption, they could write books about!

"The problems are not with the “party’s core beliefs,” he said, but relate to “our inability to convey our principles to the American people in a precise, concise and passionate way.” It ain't in conveyin' the message asshat. It's the results of conveyin' the message.
