Attention, all who have read James Carville's new book

[Arkana]

We are, all things considered, a "soft" party. While we have nothing to be ashamed of as liberals, we must take issue with the fact that our party lies down and dies whenever a tough issue wracks the country. I'm not saying that all Dem leaders do this, but there is never a strong, concerted effort to stop * and his cronies.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I've had enough of losing elections, I've had enough of seeing our troops mired in Iraqnam, I'm sick of the media bias, and I'm sick and tired of having a corrupt Repuke administration in the White House. Carville was right--we need to stop being a Repuke doormat and stand up for our own cause.

Hopefully all true Democrats are with me on this (or at least most of it).

1. We won the last THREE presidential elections.

But, I agree with everything else you have stated!!

2. You're right, of course..

The Democratic leadership has this reputation of being weak and much too passive. They try to be nice, the Repubs walk all over them. They let them define us, and our messaqe. This has been said umpteen thousand times, but weak leadership equals losing elections (that means you, McAuliffe.)

3. Brother Bill said it best

The Repugs win because of the perception that they are strong decisive leaders. His words were,"Strong and wrong beats weak and right."
