sounds like a goat.
anyway -- what many liberals, leftists, greens,dems etc. have to get through their heads is that millions and millions of their fellow citizens hate them. and it's a tough neighborhood. those folks{whether born agains or confederate flag wavers, or anti-gov libertarians, etc} will never vote dem. lost cause.
those same people make common cause with corporate facists -- to the point where some willingly vote against their own self interest.
secondly, corporate facists are in control of the republican party -- and are deeply, deeply embedded in the dem party{i vote dem, btw}
what's needed is a tent revival of good old fashioned leftist, socialist, populist, democrat -- what ever you want to call it -- ethics and issues. ideas to trumpet and blare all over the place -- things that will juice up this multi-media brain washed citizentry and get them to the polls. basically a madison ave approach to taking the debate over for good.
obviously there's more -- but these are dangerous times for this country -- and we are in a dog fight. we just need to act like it.
