Some Democrats are continuing to complain that the party's message is not clear, and that Democratic opposition to a major judicial nominee threatens to alienate Hispanic voters.
Few, if any, Democratic state leaders want to be heard criticizing their party's leadership at the beginning of the 2004 presidential election cycle. But grass-roots leaders and activists say the class-warfare attacks on President Bush's tax cuts have not worked and that a less strident, more focused economic message is needed to reconnect with swing voters who supported Republicans in November.

Would that be the "regular American" discussing issues at the "kitchen table?"

Bump for progress.
You should be aware that hchutch is on the record as favoring Amnesty for nearly every Illegal in the country, which you're on the record as opposing.
If he gets his way, you can kiss any progress goodbye.
How long has this been the excuse?
When are they gonna figure it out? Everyone comprehends their alternatives just fine...and they've promptly dismissed them as being Liberal dreams out of pace with the current realities.
Pure denial mixed with a desperate longing for the Clinton Glory Days.
How sad.
The message is clear enough. Nobody is buying it
At least Reagan had the excuse of not knowing that Amnesty would only bring more of the liberal flim flam. By now, though, the rest of us should know better.
LOFL, translation: Democrats long for another smooth liar.
Given the unswerving daintiness of both parties and the current administration with regard to Illegals, you may well be right.
You forgot to add the American Voters lusty appetite for affordable gardners, laborers and nannies.
It's easier to blame others, I'm sure.
Or to equivocate. I suppose?
In what elections have the American voters given any politician a mandate to welcome Illegals and grant them Amnesty?
Was Amnesty a Bush platform plank in 2000? Were his fingers crossed when he placed his hand on the Bible and swore to faithfully execute the laws of the land? Were those of other politicians?
It is my opinion that the Republicans should coldly and relentlessly smash the scumbag Democrats over the head with this fiasco until the anti-Hispanic mindset of the Democrat party becomes "conventional wisdom". This Democrat filibuster of an appelate court nominee - - the first ever - - staggers the mind. The Republicans, especially Bush's people, are playing the Democrats like a fiddle. You have to marvel. They must be laughing their behinds off over champagne.
Ridiculous question. The People are hiring, that's all I'm saying.
Buchanon showed how immigration stands as a platform...it's a money maker, period.
Was Amnesty a Bush platform plank in 2000?
No, nor will it be in 2004.
Buchanon showed how immigration stands as a platform...it's a money maker, period.Disingenuous answer. You didn't say "People," you said "American Voters."
No, nor will it be in 2004.Buchanan showed that never-elected third party candidates don't get elected. Again. Period.
Because openly supporting Amnesty is a political loser. No politician is ever going to be voted out of office for getting tough with Illegals.
One in the same in this case.
No politician is ever going to be voted out of office for getting tough with Illegals.
I would hope not, but debatable (debateable?).
Dodgers in 5.
Dodgers in 5.Yet at #37, you attemtpted to make a distinction. Make up your mind.
There is a reason why the voters aren't given the opportunity to make a choice against Illegals: because they would.
Ever wonder why we have school bonds, police bonds fire department bonds... but never "goodies for Illegals" bonds?
Over whom? The Padres?
