Reply #8: the problem with the concept of moving too far left [View All]

[Wetzelbill]

Is we've been riding the middle for at least the last twelve years and it cost us 40 years of majority dominance in the House, plus two presidential elections and nearly every mid-term election in Congress. We keep losing our shirts with these guys. We don't win, because we don't stand firm and fight for what the Democratic party believes in. We let Republicans frame the debate and then guys like Lieberman et.al.... they acquiesce instead of fighting for the right thing. Yeah, you're right, that killed Kerry, we need to quit being weak and trying to be everything to everybody. It loses us elections.
