Where does your deep distrust of everyone who thinks differently than you come from? It's almost pathological.

If you intend to have a future in politics, either behind the scenes or out in public, you should learn a few things from watching this recall election.

People want HOPE. If you give them scowls and disapproval, they will tune you out.

If you scold people and order them to follow your principles, you get nothing more than those who already support you.

Watch winners for a while, and see what they offer.

From years of watching liberals and political hacks operate.
