Reply #124: yes, I agree, it needs to be in sound-bites

Newt's could be summed up in single sentences because they were actually "small ideas", not policy proposals. And they all fit into the same "anti-Democratic-power-grubbers-in-Congress" theme. I don't exactly know how Dems could sum up each of their ten proposals, but I hope they'll be able to do something on that: Just saying "strengthening education", for example, won't get them very far.

Now about that "chicken-shittedness" thing. I realize after reading the replies on here that many people are disappointed: They wanted big proposals like universal health care.

That's not going to stop a smart person like you from signing the petition though, right? I mean, maybe the Dems are mostly still chickens, as you say, but, up until just a few weeks ago, they were only at the gnat stage of development. You're going to encourage these nascent signs of fighting spirit, right?? You're gonna strengthen Reid's hand by signing and getting all your friends and co-workers to sign, right?

Right?

Right?

Hey, where'd you go?

Come back, come back......
