People that truly look out for the common man instead of the rich and corporate interests.

People like Ted Kennedy, John Conyers, Al Gore....

2. You'll get people who will challenge any true Democrat you could
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 10:53 AM by bryant69
put on a list. Gore, for instance, has done a lot of really good stuff, but has also taken his share of corporate money and done his share of corporate favors.

8. Big tent. Remember that. In democracy you do not get "exactly everything
you want" from your leaders. You get what you need.

Think of the rich RW kooks who decided they didn't like to pay taxes and put people in power who would make it so. They are not 'living in a democracy'. They want to be babied and have the whole world revolve around them and their beliefs.

A good dem - leader - will lead.

10. True democrats
We must thank our undercover brothers in the republican administration
who set up this scandle to crush the republican party for several decades.

We could thank all the democrats who we don't know the names of...
those are the real ones. Or maybe its all democrats who don't wear
underwear; or all democrats who are gay; or all democrats who fart on
the left.

Perhpas we should sew patches on to the sleeves of different people
so that the public can identify and brand them. Then later, their
arms can be tatood and we can bar-code scan people as they enter and
exit democratic events, sorta like a food checkout.

:-) Or maybe the line of thinking, torquemada's religious purge, is
the fundamentalism of the right in another form; and we need only
make peace with eath other, forgive and join hands whilst the
undercover brothers tear the republican party apart.
