Democratic congressmen can do that, for example, by making a credible collective pledge that if you vote Democrat enough you will never pay another medical bill as long as you live. It's the word "credible" that is the key. You guys lost your credibility a long time ago, and because of this the majority of Americans don't believe a word you say.

The centrist Democratic Leadership Council meets this week in Columbus, Ohio, with Senator Hillary Clinton the newly named chair of their newly launched yearlong "American Dream Initiative." If the DLC is "centrist," I am terrified to know what they consider to be leftist.
I guess from his description of Free Republic, and people being banned for "getting out of line," he must think that Jim is basically the head of the GOP. But I'm glad the left is finally acknowledging that talk radio and the internet has basically destroyed them by continually exposing their lies.

I always miss the marching orders. I figured I never got marching orders since I haven't earned my decoder ring yet!

Marching orders cost $2.00 a day.
To: kristinn
Interesting since he, in essence, says both freepers and Christians cannot think for themselves but have to have marching orders.
As long as they keep thinking that way, they will never ever see the truck that keeps hitting them.

And above and beyond that, this shows that the Dems both refuse to move away from both the notion that there is free health care out there if they just try hard enough, and refuse to let go the notion that a command-and-control economy is the desired end objective, with the numerous documented failures of such economies not ever factoring in to their worldview. Which is a key reason they are losing - more and more people look at them and say "when in the hell are you going to allow reality and past experience to impact your political views?"

If I was a Democrat and wanted to win the Presidency here is exactly what I would do:
1. A Voice in the Wilderness. Jettison the party hacks and stand on your two feet. Imagine a DemonRat who professes his "honest" love for this country and it's Armed Forces.
2. Decry high taxation and big government. Promise tax relief.
3. Stand firm against abortion.
4. Support the War on Muslim Terrorists.
5. Promise to SECURE OUR BORDERS the day you're elected.
You WIN!

He didn't even mention our secret decoder rings. I'm deeply saddened.
To: kristinn
He used to regale me with tales of annual July 4 Pentecostal retreats that were like Nuremberg rallies in praise of the Great Leader. That's over now. The straw that broke the camel's back, he tells me, was people not being able to afford to go to the dentist. So, the inability to go to a dentist undermined this guy's spiritual foundation....Pretty weak spiritual foundation.

The author is correct that the Democrats' economic policies are more palatable to a great many Americans than are their social policies.
The Democrats have been letting their contempt for "average Americans" be more and more obvious.
People seldom vote for those who treat them and their values with contempt.

Rick is very wrong on two points.
He's dead wrong that we fear government because we "really knw" it's the answer. The truth is we fear oppressive intrusion and crushing confiscation of wealth for redistribution to those who neither deserve it nor need it.
Quoting Paul Krugman is always a bad move. Ask those 72% of Americans would they like that universal health care when you explain to them what it really means in terms of taxes, rationing and long waits for service.
