MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD….Hum de hum. I’m bored today. What to talk about? I know ? let’s try to figure out what the hell is wrong with Democrats these days. How come people won’t vote for us? Everyone seems to be talking about that today.
I don’t actually know the answer, but I think I’ve collected the leading candidates:
-
Too socially liberal. Need to move to the center.
-
Too wishy washy. Need to be loud and proud liberals.
-
Too tin-eared. We’re terrific on the issues, but we need to frame them properly.
-
Too wimpy. Need to convince Americans we can kick Osama’s butt.
-
Too wonkish. People don’t want laundry lists, they want character.
-
Too gutless. Need to get down in the gutter with Karl Rove and rip his lungs out.
-
Too shortsighted. Need to create liberal versions of the Heritage Foundation to help us build long-term vision.
-
Too tired. Need to break loose from the past and offer fresh, original ideas.
-
Too splintered. Need to quit pandering to the interest groups that actually vote for us.
-
None of the above. It’s the media’s fault.
