Reply #41: I think it's a little of both

They don't want to reveal their complicity AND they think being more moderate will attract more voters. I think we've learned through experience that pandering to the Repukes does not work for the Democrats. If they presented the cold hard facts, they would have to be on the attack against the Repukes. Letting the Repukes off easy is not going to gain us votes.

I also agree with the poster who suggested using simple models to educate the public on the facts. We are talking about fifth grade level math. I think the American public can handle that for fucks sake.

I was extremely disappointed by Reid's & Pelosi's speeches and not just the horrible delivery or the story of the little boy who wanted to be just like Reid or the reference to Groundhog day. :boring:

I don't think the Dem party is worthless but there is a LOT of room for growth and improvement.

BTW, who else almost hurled when Lieberman and Bush kissed last night? Case in point.
