What the dems need to do...from an unlikely source
Andrew Sullivan has been excellent on this cartoon issue, in fact, I find I agree with him on lots of stuff and he is fed up with the GOP. Why he says he could never been a Dem is a mystery to me. Anyway, he's on the money with this:

here's what I'd say if I were in opposition right now. These guys are corrupt and incompetent. They have screwed up the Iraq war, turned FEMA into a joke and landed the next generation with a mountain of debt. We're for making the homeland safer, winning back our allies, and taking on the Iranian dictatorship. We're for energy independence, universal healthcare and balancing the budget again. Now, let Rove do his worst. Hey, we need Democrats who relish the fight, not timid ones who cower at the prospect. Bring back the happy warriors. Please.

5. Yeah, but he only hears about it all filter through the media
where we are doing nothing but forcing gay marriage onto christian couples, educating young kids to have sex in public schools, and fucking Monica lewinsky with a cigar...:(

2. I don't suppose he voted for Kerry
I wonder if he noticed that Kerry was saying more than half of that stuff. Winning back allies, energy independance, etc.

3. He said all that stuff
Besides FEMA which he didn't know about at the time. But that's what he ran on, right in that post.

"We're for making the homeland safer, winning back our allies, and taking on the Iranian dictatorship. We're for energy independence, universal healthcare and balancing the budget again."

4. I think he may have voted for Kerry
I don't remember if he did, but he was definitely opposed to Bush in 2004.
