Democratic Politician Re-Education Manual: "What Would Howard Do?"

[IndyOp]

I have an idea about how to reform the Democratic Party elites - the ones who listen to strategists instead of the people; the ones who focus on "winning elections" instead of principles.

I think they just need a new playbook and a little practice working with it and they could become fine leaders. We provide each one with a "Democratic Politician Re-Education Manual: What Would Howard Do?" -- henceforth referred to as the "WWHD Manual" (my version of the cover is shown below). :-)

What Do Dems Stand For? Howard Dean's Answer in 30 seconds:

One: American jobs that will stay in America, using energy independence to generate those jobs.
Two: A strong national defense based on telling the truth to our citizens, our soldiers and our allies.
Three: Honesty and integrity to be restored to government.
Four: A health care system that works for everybody just like they have in 36 other countries.
Five: A strong public education system so we can bring optimism and opportunity back to America."

Next, we send the Dems to workshops at which they will practice applying the 5 principles to all sorts of issues:

Imagine Harry Reid sitting opposite Barack Obama and we ask them to apply WWHD to the issue of Russ Feingold's censure resolution. They are bright men, so we know they would do well. Here is the conversation:

Obama: Principle 2 says Dems will have a strong national defense based on telling the truth to our citizens -- What Would Howard Do? -- CENSURE BUSH!!!

Reid: Principle 3 says Dems will restore honesty and integrity to government -- What Would Howard Do? -- CENSURE BUSH!!!

Obama: So we should support Feingold's censure resolution?

Reid: Feels wrong, but if that is what the manual says we should do, then I guess so.

See? Easy. They just need a new playbook - the WWHD Manual.
