Reply #31: You are putting way too much faith in these blue state "moderate"

Republicans. That is part of the problem of why oppostion to Bush is so weak today. The lame ass Democratic Party has never challenged these blue state "moderate" Repugs in a serious manner the way the Republicans did Democrats in Red states. Here is what the Repugs did in the south: They assocaited them with unpopular national Democratic figures or pressured them to switch parties. That is why we are in the fix we are in today. Too many Democrats and "progressives" don't see moderate Republicans as part of the problem. These pro McCain Dems/progressives people are still living in lala land. His actions during the convention made no impression on them. You are also putting too much faith in the Democrats not to be a bunch of pink tutu goodie goodies and actually fight back for a change.
