My only Raygun post
That man set the GOP up for success. I wish their was a good leftie (like a Dennis Kucinich or Al Sharpton, but with broad base appeal) to counter the cult of personality.

1. It took them years of organization to get there. Unfortunately, they
also had the CORPORATIONS on their side with the MONEY. We will need YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS of hard work to get to that place too.

3. we need a leftist leader
the GOP was dead post Nixon. Raygun marched them straight into power. Corporations? Whom do you think owns our party, the working class or grassroots activists?

2. We have Clinton, but look what the RW did to demonize him and
we had Wellstone and look what happened there. They don't play a fair game. They are cheaters.

4. Clinton was a middle man, not a leftist
and his ego led him down the ho road. WELLSTONE is our man, RIP. Nader has been sayin that the GOP will never give up power; I wonder why the Dems disagree.

5. They are murderers and monsters
Let's not mince words here. They would imprison or kill us, if they could. If they thought they could get away with Mass Arrests and Executions.

They might just feel that way within a decade or two.

Don't be caught by surprise.

6. Look, it's easy to have a cult of personality when all your selling
Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 01:24 PM by Cat Atomic
is hatred, racism, and greed. People are ALWAYS looking for new ways to turn these vices into virtues.

Conservative politicians have an easy row to hoe. It's much more difficult to sell nebulous concepts like social responsibility. Especially with a corporate-controlled media.

8. Don't forget the selling of hot air along with the aforementioned
other commodities of racism, hatred and greed.
