I actually spent some of my precious time to read this dumb New Direction document.
Not ONE of the most important issues are mentioned even obliquely:
immigration, moral values, USSC appointments, Iraq and the War against Terrorism.
Even the libs hot button issues: Patriot Act and abortion, are completely avoided.
Instead they promote HillaryCare, stem cell research (LoL), college tuition (LoL), and try to pretend they will be fiscally responsible! ...
This is an incredible crock! They won't even be able to get their base excited about a platform based on these and a minimum wage hike!
slick willie has made the same comment. We could let you keep more of your money but we know better how to spend it.
You have to admit he's right. Earlier press and advertisements, popular culture, etc., always stressed optomist viewpoint - life will get better, easier, better living through chemistry, everyone will get flying car, a chicken in every pot. Now, the popular culture is designed to induce neurotic and self-destructive behavior, but residents are encouraged not to harm "the environment" nor engage in tobacco use, albeit they are also admonished to die quietly and not ask too many questions. Hm.
