196. ah
perhaps you have never heard of Jean Carnahan, Max Cleland, or Jeanne Shaheen, all of whom ran for senate in 2002 as dems, all of whom pledged support for Bush's war, patriot act, and tax cuts in the hopes of winning the "center", and all of whom lost.

As a result of their strategy, which no liberal would ever in a million years consider using, the Dems lost the senate. We lost 2 seats in MO and GA, and an excellent chance to pick up a seat in NH.

Only the DLC, with their "triangulation strategy", would ever consider sucking up to a president of the OTHER party to try and win. Therefore, because we used their strategy, they lost.

It is YOU who have no facts!
