Reply #119: Isn't this the same lame-ass platform K/E ran on?

[no name no slogan]

You know, the one that got so many voters "excited" about what the Democrats would do for them?

The one that NOBODY (even the candidates themselves) could clearly define for the electorate?

Sorry, but this just more of the same: it's like putting a band-aid on a severed limb. It's way too little, way too late.

Why do we want to throw 40k more troops into the charnel house that is Iraq?

Why do we want to funnell more money into the pockets of big insurance companies, when over 1/2 the population wants universal health care?

Why do we want a measly $1 increase in the minimum wage, even though it's still well below the poverty level?

Why don't we ask for reasonalbe curbs on corporate power (something that 70%+ of the population wants), instead of more appeasement of Wall Street.

The time for "moderation" was four years ago. We're in crisis mode today. "Playing nice" with the Republicans makes as much sense as trying to pet a rabid pitbull.

Be reasonable-- DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE. And when that doesn't work, compromise all you want.

But don't give one inch before you ask for what you really want-- NOT what you'll "settle" for.
