They're going to have to quit naming moderate candidates like Mondale, Gore, and Kerry, and move a little more left. Hehe!

[randog]

They nominate candidates from the political left who have a hard time appealing to those in the middle.

That's because that's all they have left in their party--they purged the moderates in '02, remember? I do, and was scratching my head thinking, 'what the hell are they up to?'. Figured we find out in '04. And boy-howdy did we find out.

They sure out-smarted us, didn't they?

Here is an idea: The Dems' could say they have seen the light and now believe it's not really such a good idea as they thought to punch a hole in a baby's head and suck the brains out!

"We have lost just about everything that we can lose."

Not quite. My one, consistent prayer for the Clintons ...

That the Lord would render the Clintons, and ALL their minions, totally powerless and useless and nameless and faceless and voiceless and homeless and penniless, and that He would strip them bare before the world, such is their evil, leaving only their immortal souls, and it is for these souls I pray ...

Al From, head of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, which helped put Bill Clinton on the path to the White House in 1992, said Democrats "have to do a better job with connecting with those people who go to work every day and play by the rules."

As opposed to Democratic political operatives (aka RATS) who break all the rules.

"New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Northeastern CENTRIST (my emphasis added) and one of the most polarizing figures in American politics"

if Hillary is a centrist, than what is a liberal. And if she's a centrist, than how can she be so polarizing!

[Only1choice____Freedom]

That means they are getting on with the grieving process:


1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

Democrats Have Bad Case of the Blues... which gives me great cause for joy and rejoicing!

"My advice to the Democrats is never, never nominate anybody from Massachusetts again," said Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University.

Maybe I am mistaken but wasn't Gore from Tennessee and didn't he lose the south including his home state and Clinton's Arkansas

Pelosi put it another way. "Quite frankly, I think the table is set for us in the next election," she said. "We have lost just about everything that we can lose."

Lose face?

House Democratic leader Pelosi put it another way. "Quite frankly, I think the table is set for us in the next election," she said. "We have lost just about everything that we can lose."

Wrong, sister Pelosi, wrong.

In 2006 there are 18 RAT senate seats up for re-election, vs. 15 repub seats.

After that election, it's entirely possible that the Senate will be 60-40. Then you'll see what it's like to lose everything!

Republicans have cut deeply into formerly Democratic areas in rural America, the Sunbelt, and among Hispanics, the nation's fastest-growing minority group. They have made gains on "family values" issues, winning over social conservatives who previously voted Democratic on economic issues, while keeping their advantage on national defense.

No, Dammit! Republicans are the same as they have been for a generation. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by Socialists, trial lawyers, and ACLU militant atheists, and the hijackers themselves will never admit it.

The Democratic Party, in which I was brought up, ceased to exist a generation ago. There IS NO Democratic Party.

Democrats Have Bad Case of the Blues

And I have a bad case of the I Don't Cares

[GSlob]

Democrats "have to do a better job with connecting with those people who go to work every day and play by the rules."
But to do such connection the Democrats themselves will have to start playing by the rules - and that means completely repudiating and denouncing clintorroids ("because I could") and everything and everyone who ever came within three miles [approximate line of sight on a clear day] from them, as ritually polluted, impure and forbidden - 'haram'.

This one should go into the Spin Hall of Fame: We're at rock-bottom, just where we want to be for next time!

I think the bolt holding her face up was turned a few times too many.

House Democratic leader Pelosi put it another way. "Quite frankly, I think the table is set for us in the next election," she said. "We have lost just about everything that we can lose." How about you?

Hey Nancy. You ain't seen nutin' yet. The way your party is headed, you will be lucky to have half the reps and senators in Congress over the next 15 or 20 years.

Note to the RAT party: When you are in a hole, stop digging.

[Bullish]

Pelosi: "We have lost just about everything that we can lose."

No way, Drumface! You're just getting started losing, because you're a loser and your parties ideologies are losers. Democrats haven't had a good idea in over 50 yrs.

So get used to it, Nancy, You'll soon be voted out and watching from the sidelines where you belong.

You can count on it!

Democratic leaders are trying to figure out how to make the party more relevant to mainstream Americans

This is a good start -- admitting that the Democrats do not represent "mainstream" Americans.
