What works for the far right.. does not work for the left.to center
Edited on Sun Jun-12-11 01:14 PM by Peacetrain
One of the BIGGEST failures that those of us center and left tend to make.. is to try and mimic the far right.

And it never ever works.

What they need, are hell hound personalities that keep telling them how great they are and how every one else is the spawn of the devil.

It keeps them in line. They are a very strong community group..needing lots and lots of reinforcements.

What works for center to left.. is staying on topic, and keeping true to what you speak.

The far right can lie to itself and everyone else, and do a 180 on its value systems and be quite comfortable with the results.

The center and left are not cut that way.

3. The Repigs can Get Away With Anything. Democrats Have to be Perfect
The MSM will always cover for the Republicans but will waste no opportunity to tear up the Democrats for the slightest inconsistency anywhere.

4. What is this "working" you speak of?
Whatever it is or you discern it to be, the point is off as the "center" adopts far right policies and they "work" as well for the wealthy and corporations (and as poorly for the people) as they do for the right.

Seems like they can off shore, cut taxes for the rich, pour out corporate welfare, devalue our civil liberties, prop up the insurance cartel, wage foolish and wasteful wars, deform education, and fuck up the environment with the best of them.

Your meaning seems unclear.
