Indeed. We're not all that far from the '06 campaigns, and lots of big issues, border control, social security, energy policy, and deficits to name a few. On another thread relating to Dean and Schiavo, I reflected that the Dems are well aware that their stark move leftward was likely the cause of their demise. They know that mainstream America is by and large not associated with either extreme. They will try and paint Republicans with the same brush we used on them so successfully. We simply must resist that at all cost.
But unfortunately, the deep division that developed right here on FR, I feel, shows that we do have a vulnerability that can be exploited if we cannot mend the rift.
I agee with everything you said.
And I don't see it getting better. The border issue is going to be exploited by shewhoshallnotbenamed and a lot of politically unsavy people will buy into her move to the center.
We need to have lunch with our town freepers soon to discuss these issues.
