Let's hope we stay the course!

[longtermmemmory]

The democratic party is dying and the DNC knows it.

[T Lady]

As long as the Democratic Party allows the influence of George McGovern and Bill Clinton to prevail, they'll remain in the political wilderness. I say "Good!"

more special interest groups. Maybe white christian males. Are they a minority yet? Maybe the dims can recruit that minority.

[longtermmemmory]

white christian men will always be a scapegoat. If they ever become a true oppressed minority it will not matter since they would be a minority and oppresed.

[Dan from Michigan]

The dems can't win.
Bill Klinton couldn't win twice...just no way.
John Engler couldn't win on the GOP side.
There's no way Bush could win West Virginia.
There's no way the GOP would win statewide in Georgia.

Get the drift?

I hope all the weeping,wailing Freepers (and we DO have them) will get to see this.

[vpintheak]

I agree with this great article on everything except one point. The dimrat party does have goals, just read the communist manifesto to see what they are. The cowards and liars in the rat, and other parties will never quit until they are in total control. We will just have to keep them in check.

[RichardW]

True unless John Templeton's prediction comes true, then all bets are off.

[Marauder]

McGovern and Clinton? How about Mao, Lenin, and Stalin? That's their true influence.

Nice screen name

[SwinneySwitch]

You left the lying liberal media out of your equation!

[jrushing]

How can I be so certain of a Democratic loss?

Never "gloat", or you may "bloat".

You need to tone it down son! We have time to win this thing but you don't need to go rubbing it in their faces before we win! You might get them all excited & they'll swarm out & sting us in the face.

We will win because we are right. We will win but it takes time. Don't be too impatient.

[what's up]

There once was a Federalist party. No more.

Let's hope the same fate is in store for the Democratic party.

[tiamat]

Somebody needs to go post this puppy at DU.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that at all. As SwinneySwitch just pointed out, there is still a preponderance of liberal partisanship in the "mainstream" media - that's what's been working on the "Bush Lied" mantra since the lads and ladies of the 101st and the 3d ID humiliated them by (gasp!) "going through them like crap through a goose." (Patton would have been proud.) That's why the constant din of "quagmire."

That's also why the unbelievable dirt was tossed just prior to the California elections. That little septic-tank-in-the-fan was brought to us courtesy of the national DNC, a la Terry McAuliffe and the Clintons. I absolutely guarantee everyone on this board that that was a tuneup for next year this time, when a bigger game is afoot.

The Democratic Party is about negatives, not positives.

That's natural enough for a party in minority - in the runup to the election their main job is to paint as black a picture of the status quo as necessary to make people less critical about the proposed changes. But there have to be proposed changes for it to work. There have to be programs, and so far there is very little to show in that direction, and it's getting late in the game. What slid Clinton by in '96 was his co-option of the Contract With America after having bitterly criticized its provisions during the previous two years; were it not for stealing Gingrich's, he'd have had no programs at all, and he was in power at the time! The point is that that sort of omission is permissible (barely) for an incumbent but not for a non-incumbent. The Dems had better pay heed or this one will be a wash despite the media.

[victim soul]

May The Democratic Party with its support of abortion support fulfill its own Liberal Death Wish.

[Revolting cat!]

Hey, who could ever disagree?! There is now way, for example, Hitlery could ever win a dogcatcher race in New York State. much less a Senate seat! Hurray for Senator, whatsisnameagain? Oh yes, Senator Lazio!

[Texas Deer Hunter]

Yep, between homosexuals packin fudge and abortions, liberals will become extinct shortly.

Sooner than later I hope.
