Reply #35: You're suggesting we are mainly interested in the . . .

welfare of the Democratic Party? No . . . this is about small "d" democracy --
Not political parties. It's about labor and the downward spiral of wages.
It's about financing two wars and the bankrupting of the Treasury!
It's about Single Payer Health Care vs corporation/insurance-drug companies!

HOWEVER, Democrats who dropped out have not been voting did come out to try to
influence the elections this time around in response to a PROGRESSIVE/LIBERAL
MESSAGE by Democrats. Remember the day after the 2006 elections, Pelosi confirming
that Democrats were elected to "end the wars" . . . ??? That's on film.

Again -- Greider isn't talking about putting Repugs in office . . . he is talking
about supporting more progressive Democratic candidates against "blue dogs" -- and
you can do that from out-of-state. And more and more of these states are turning
"blue" -- i.e., liberal/progressive -- which would indicate that more voters will
support more liberal/progressive candidates than "Blue Dogs."

Greider is also saying that if all liberals/progressives supported these more
liberal Democrats, they would win.

Greider is also suggesting that if there is no more liberal candidate vs a "Blue Dog"
then a more liberal third party candidate could be elected if liberal/progressive
Democrats supported that candidate.


And, additionally we still have problems with electronic voting machines which began
coming in during the mid-to-late 1960's . . . just around the time the Voting Rights Act
was passed, coincidentally! IMO, every Repug win since then is questionable - going
back to Nixon/Humphrey!
