THAT is what it takes to win. Not "toning down" not playing nice, not fearing about the mythical middle of the road voter.

You think that bunch of right wing bozos running things cares a whit about the middle of the road voter? THEY certainly don't shrink from THEIR principles.

Look, I'm against torture.GOT IT? ABU GHRAIB and GUANTANAMO are UN-AMERICAN. Got IT?

I think WAR is a BAD thing. Understand?

I think giving up our rights like sniveling cowards makes us LESS AMERICAN. You feeling me?

I think taking away veterans benefits, and not providing our troops sufficient armor, is un-american. It's criminal.

I think allowing a president, ANY president, to break the law, is the ultimate un-american activity.

YOU HEARING ME?

I think allowing our social structure to deteriorate, and standing by while the environment is plundered and ravaged is BAD.

There are so many things wrong with your take , I don't know where to start friend. Welcome to DU and my advice is stop reading so much of the glurge put out by those DC inside the beltway insulated clowns, and look at what the American people are saying.

Only 32.8% of them think Bush is doing OK.

You think THIS is the time to "be quiet and nice"?
