This is something we are all supposed to do every now and then. It's supposed to air out the closets and help jetison some of the excess baggage we tend to pick up as we travel through this life of ours. Well, the DNC needs to understand that this concept applies to political parties as well as individuals. It is time for the Dems to wake up and smell the coffee.

Now, there are two pots on the stove, the question is which is "the real things". The Dems need to look at this last election and ask themselves "why?". Why the hell did we lose to a moron? Why the hell did we allow him to sell the idea that it is moral to use the office of the presidency to carry out a family vendetta? Why the hell is it more moral to kill our fellow citizens and innocent by-standers when they are already living, breathing human beings than it is to decide that this nascent group of cells should not be allowed to develop further? George Bush is the proximate cause of tens of thousands of living human beings having their potential futures chopped short. What he has caused to happen in Iraq beats out the abortion clinics any day of the week. What he has caused to happen in Iraq is, for want of another word, immoral. Yet, the Democrats allowed him free reign to sell himself as being the more moral candidate.

This is just flat out wrong. Every speech he made, there should have been a cohort of Democrats hammering home the very opposite of his message. Now, we Democrats have a harder row to hoe...We are going to have to attack, not George Bush, but the mindset that allows his message credence. We are all going to have to go our and individually convert a Republican. This is not going to be easy, but we do have four years to do it. Well, no. Actually we only have two years, and then we need to retake the congress. That means both converting Republicans and finding good candidates to run for those offices.

The long and the short of it is that our message is the more moral of the two. The Democrat's message--our core beliefs--are hugely more moral than those of the Republicans. We are the heirs of Christ, of Buddha, of Yahweh...of all religions which believe is a compassionate godhead. It is time we claim our legacy and send the Republicans packing.

I'm a little verklempt...talk among yourselves for a bit...*grin*
