I wish some of EvCs Bush apologists would watch that and explain how they can support Bush's acceptance of neocon agendas, if they are truly "traditional" republicans.
So do I, and I think that should be the democratic campaign focus this time.
Listen, here are your values, here are your rights, we realize that you stand for them and you're passionate about them. The thing is, you're a democrat.

While I agree with how that is happening, I understand that people hate to be told they're wrong or that they made a bad decision.
I feel, of course, that one that voted for Bush in 2004 when we knew what he was about, is an idiot and does not really care about the future of this country. But that attitude won't make them say "Yeah, I am an idiot, I need to vote different this time" or "Yeah, I should really start looking at the facts before I vote"
I think a different approach is needed if we're to win in 2008.

I agree. I'm not a registered democrat either. Personally, I hate the two party system and wish I could vote for a third party. With Bush and the Neo-Cons being the beneficiaries of a third-party vote, it has been impossible for me to do so in the last two elections. The risks are just too great, as was witnessed by this term.
By "us" winning I just mean anyone that is not a religious schizophrenic at this point. I just want some rational thoughts in the freakin White House, is that too much to ask?!

When Jesus himself phones in his endorsement, it's all over.
