Reply #78: With honest elections and a fair media, liberals would win.

As Michael Moore, Dennis Kucinich, Howard Dean, and others have each said in their own words, the majority of America actually believes in "Liberal" values. Problem is that they have been repeatedly LIED to by the Republicans, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, FAUX, CNN, and whomever else about what our values are. And that was even before the theft of democracy in 2000.

The red states don't realize they're voting against public education, healthcare reform, the environment, veteran's benefits, and fair taxation (among a long list of others). They have been led to believe that voting against "Sodomite loving baby killers" will solve all their problems.

The DLC would have us believe that we need to abandon our values and embrace corporatist fascism to win. BULLSHIT. What we need is to control OUR message. Air America is a decent start, and it's growing. The efforts of DFA, PDA, 21st Century Democrats and any other TRUE Democratic organizations I might have forgotten are great as well, and the election of Howard Dean to DNC chairman would be a huge step in putting that message back in the front lines of the party where it belongs.

The big hurdles to fight now are the corporate media and electro-fraud "voting". Until those are defeated, it's all sandbags against floods :(
