are the Dems still looking for a message? I found one with a good slogan.
Liberalism is still strong, people just forgot where their best interests were. In the 1970s, the New Deal and the Great Society made people so comfortable they fell for the Reagan era lies that "greed is good." People forgot that as a society we're at our best when we work as a team.

IMHO,the BEST thing anyone here can do is point out to every one you communicate to that Civilization is a team sport. (Like that? I came up with that phrase, spread it around.) To Christians, remind them that all sin is based on selfishness. To atheists, point out that the whole reason we had the New Deal was because billionaires manage society for their own benefit if Democratic government doesn't intervene. Whatever, find a way to explain to people that WITHOUT TEAMWORK, WE ALL LOSE.

I'd just love it if the theme for the 2006 election cycle became WITHOUT TEAMWORK, WE ALL LOSE. It'd be a simple message, which the Dems haven't had in ages. It's what we stand for, it's our way of operating, it's a noble goal. It's even a sports analogy, so the NASCAR dads and soccer moms will understand it.

What do you think?

1. give it up.
Your site is advertising for a freeping, racist, propagandist.

Imo, that ain't a viable path.

Or JewsOnFirst.Org? Is that your problem?

ImpeachBush.Org? What, did they offend you in some way?

Common Dreams? Smirking Chimp? Bartcop? what Really Happened? They all have useful news links updated every day, you have something against news?

4. You know what I mean.
Or at least you should because I wasn't coy in my response.
The site you want us to go to accepts advertising from Michael Rivero.

I think you're trying to run a scam to earn money for yourself by targeting what you perceive to be a vulnerable market on the left.

3. Yes, very good message.
Because it's true and because it's a good tactic: the repub tactic has been and will most certainly continue to be to divide us against each other while they continue to lie and steal--if we could refuse the bait and WORK TOGETHER, we could really turn things around, I think.
