8. I object to the Blue Dog Coalition and the DLC being termed bastards
Then I also object to Senator Harry Reid and Representative Nancy Pelosi being termed losers. Senator Reid and Representative Pelosi are fine people, they're also fine and talented leaders. They have to operate daily under extraordinary and difficult circumstances, often whilst getting no thanks from people such as....oh I don't know...YOU for example Daylin Byak.

To be completely blunt, your comments are horsecrap. The below paragraph of yours, it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Every day I wake up in the morning and look at myself and I say to myself, we're never going to takeover anything. Face it DU The Democrats don't want the majority, cause if we had the majority in Congress and the White House we would actually have to take responsiblity for your actions when something cause when your in the minority and have no real power in the Government you can bitch all you want about the bush crime family and how all our money is going to the richest 1% and all that.

You're more coherent with the below comments.

you need to give people a reason to vote Democratic and that reason cannot be "hey were not the republicans, vote for us!"

Yes I agree, we cannot just go out there and say "Iraq Iraq....we're not the Republicans, so vote for us!"

We do have to formulate a specific set of policies, alternative policies to the destructive policies of the Republican's. We will formulate this specific set of policies on a wide range of issues, such as Social Security, the Minimum Wage, Iraq, Progressive taxation, healthcare and activist Judges to name a few things.

You don't know what the Democratic Leadership is doing, and why should they announce at this time what they're doing? I see no need for them to.

You know if you've got nothing positive about the Democratic Party to post, and if you want to use abusive terms to describe MY party's leaders....then just take it some place else, or better still JUST DON'T POST IT!!!!

Dammit, I feel a lot better now.
