Reply #28: Democrats Must Fight Back

[erpowers]

If you look into the views of people who advise Republicans you will see that they see politics as a war. Look into the writings of people like David Horowitz, Karl Rove, and the guy who wants to drown government and you will see that they do not just want to beat Democrats they want them distroyed. On the other hand Democrats are not as vicious. They only want to win in order to get their views across and put in place their policies. In addition, I think Democrats are not as ideology driven as Republicans. If you tell a Democrat they are wrong they will be willing to believe you if you give them proof. You can give a Republican all the proof you want and they will still say you are wrong.

In order to fight people like this Democrats must continually debunk the lies of the Republican Party. Democrats do not have to become like the Republicans. They just have to fight back. I believe they do not do this enough. How much time has the Democratic Party spent on telling the American people that Bush would have vetoed an alternative 87$ Billion Bill? How much time has the party spent talking about cheney's record on military spending? How much time has the party spent on debunking the lie that Kerry and Edwards are the first and fourth liberal senators in congress? Next Democrats must get their message out. What I like so much about Clinton speech was that he gave the differences between the two parties. He told people why they should vote for the Democratic Party. This must be done many more times.
