Maher the entertainer. Comments, questions, concerns?

"If the Democrats want to win in 2008 they must pull a "Reverse Rove." If the Democrats want to beat the Republicans, and I mean really beat them, not just by a few hundred votes in Florida, Ohio, or Pennsylvania, they've got to start thinking like the Turd Blossom. In the 2004 presidential race Karl Rove mobilized Republican voters by getting initiatives banning gay marriage on the ballots in 11 states. If the Democrats really want to mobilize their base they must push for swing state ballot initiatives that call for reinstating the draft. Even if it's a local draft, calling up young men and women to serve in their state's depleted National Guard units. That would really get the Democratic base to turn out en mass: young people, reasonable mothers and fathers, the anti-war crowd -- America's true silent majority."

9. You'd be surprised how many Dems buy into that bullshit.

Oddly enough, they're too old to go themselves... :eyes:

These types used to show up at our local antiwar group meetings, and get screamed out of the room each time.
