Dem leaders, make the distinctions
Why is it hard for Dem leaders to make these distinctions
from the other party in public statements? Other than
the other party is full of corruption, graft and liars,
here are some very clear distinctions:

Most Dems want:

-Americans to have their privacy and civil rights protected.
-Enormous national debts paid off
-Regulations upheld to protect worker, environment, food etc.
-Religion and politics separated.
-The Constitution upheld.
-Less government and corporate control of citizen’s private information.
-Universal health care.
-Alternative energy sources to remove our dependency on foreign oil
-People come first over corporations

1. because that's not what a lot of the democratic leadership
wants. their best interests are served by the status quo with a simple switch of who's in control.

2. they spend far too much time on the defense rather than the offense.
They've been bogged down for so long in a reactive state that they seem to have forgotten what it is to be proactive. Love your list, love it's simplicity and truth and it should become their mantra because each one points out the abject reality of what the repukes are really doing!

I also identify with your name because it too, is just how I feel these days!

have.

3. Well you made up the list
Do you honestly believe you just came up with that list through osmosis? The reason is because that's what Democrats DO say and say it all the time. I do not understand people who keep repeating the Democratic message while saying there's no message.

4. Excellent point - the message is getting out
Reading the list, it's similar to what I would write - and likely what most others would write.

6. It's an obvious list....opposite of what Republicans are doing
and I am not hearing these points often or in tandem.
