39. This is the exact question I wanted to ask
My cynical answers are, "On to 2008!" "If we just stop talking about gay marriage and abortion we really really can win NEXT time."

But really what will we do? Argue about it endlessly and all the cowards, which is most of humanity (and yes, I) -it's nothing against Democrats will do nothing. That's how fascism happens. Because it's a lot of work to challenge these people. Look at Mexico. They still lost and they had so much less (and thus more) to lose than us. We have jobs and families and we actually know how easy it would be to be called an enemy combatant. Without a leader, I don't think we can be effective. That said, I want the leaders on this site, ahhhmm like Pitt to organize something-if they say "On to 2008!" then well what is the point?

How much of suckers can we be? If there are masses in the street I will be there. But I won't waste my time with a hundred people out there while the LEADERS of the party including people like Pitt whom hold tremendous sway over the thoughts of people here and elsewhere say "on to the next election." And at some point PEOPLE we have to wake up, if those we are trying so dearly to get elected don't even do anything to insure that the votes we work so hard are cast for them why the hell do we want them? They don't even care enough themselves. The whole thing is a mockery.
