This guy thinks Al Gore is the charismatic leader the Democrats are looking for? LOL

[Bounceback]

Al Gore, the perfect guy to take the fall in the 2004 presidential election.

Meanwhile, the public has taken notice that the only strategy of the Demos is to keep the economy down for the 2002 congressional elections.

Always love to read good news.......

Personality is part of it, but the dims, ironically, are being hurt by the recession. As the spendaholic party, they were in hog heaven while the money rolled in. Now, with a deficit, all they can do in whine about the tax cut with the clear implication that they want to raise taxes in a recession.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now the DemoNAZIS know conservatives felt for the last 4 years of the clintoon years.

Part of the problem for Democrats is that while Bush has risen, gobbling up headlines and blotting out the political sun like an eclipse, Democrats have failed to find anyone capable of rising with him.

Don't worry, Demmycrats. You always have Al Sharpton available to lead you out of the wilderness.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[Kermit]

"Without a charismatic, forceful, and sincere leading voice, Democrats are suffering..."

Look, if Democrats told people what they really want, they'd get 30% of the vote. Therefore, to win elections, they have to LIE, LIE, LIE. It's no accident that the only DemocRAT elected President since 1980 was the greatest LIAR of a generation. You can't have true charisma and lie. You can't be truly forceful and lie. Obviously, you can't be sincere and LIE. The solution is for DemocRATs to change their policies. The chances of that approach zero. Therefore, DemocRATs will continue to suffer and bring suffering to the rest of America.

Democrats need to find an issue

What? I thought their killer issue was extending social security benefits to same sex couples. This isn't connecting with the American public post-September 11th?

Say it isn't so, Tommy!

I think Bush should go over Daschle's head and make a speech to the American people on behalf of his stimulus package.

Whether or not Daschle allows a vote on it, Bush and the Republicans will have gone on record as trying to do something for the economy and regardless of what the economy does between now and November, it will be seen as Daschle's fault.

Bush has already done this to some extent, but this needs to be a call to the public instead of an exhortation to Congress.

I'd say that we still have to be careful and not become complacent.

The Demos are like wolverines; extremely dangerous animals who attack your neck from behind, and never let go until you bleed to death.

"It sounds crazy, but the answer might lie in a bearded man roaming the mountains of Tennessee muttering about a "lock box."

Crazy?.... You just described your intended front-runner as a lunatic roaming the mountains hoping to find the right combination of meds.

Yes, it's crazy...and I applaud your honesty!

[DoctorMichael]

GOD!!!!!!!.......How I hope all of this is true!!!!!!!

[nightdriver]

"Democrats need to find an issue and a leader who can connect with the American people and lead them through the mid-term elections."

Would that the democRATs were really as up the creek as this thread implies. Unfortunately, we have been here many times before and all they have to do to get the American sheeple to fawn over them is to say "vote for me and I will give you some government money." Seems to work every time. Worked for FDR, worked for HST, worked for JFK, worked for Jimmeh Cawtuh, and worked for X42.

Democrats will be forced to bide their time and pray that the economy takes another dip this summer.

I don't doubt that this statement is 100% true ... politicians in general, but especially Democrats, will put themselves first, their party second, certain fat-cat contributors and insiders 3rd, and way somewhere down the list is their country ... I have no doubt that these sleazoids would love to see the country suffer if it meant that they would benefit, and for that, I despise them all ...
