An Open Letter to Hillary and Barack
Gentlepersons:
Please stop smearing one another. That’s what Republicans do. Stop acting like Republicans. Start working together as a team now, to defeat the Republicans.
At that point in time, I will believe that you are truly Democrats. No more whisper innuendo campaigns. That’s so Rove-Goebbels.
There is a celery-string’s worth of political differences in your “opposing” views. Hillary says, we will have sort of a one-half of a public healthcare system. So does Barack. Yawn!!! People want affordable, dependable, knowledgeable health care providers. They will pay what they can for that service. That seems fair, doesn’t it? After all, people are never going to stop getting sick. Why let private insurance companies profit from not treating people? Shame on you. That’s welfare for the rich. Is that what you mean by market efficiency? Sounds more like the sucking black vortex to hell to me.
People want to end the war on Iraq and bring their family members home. You want to leave troops there to guard the obscenely expensive new embassy we built there after we invaded and despoiled the country.
People are tired of hearing about your hairsbreadth differences and tired of dirty campaigns. This material on Barack’s pastor is old news. How lame, really. Especially since the Pastor was right, and Barack was wrong.
Barack wrote in his blog: “I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies."
George Herbert Walker Bush said in 1988: “I will never apologize for the United States — I don't care what the facts are... I'm not an apologize-for-America kind of guy.”
It’s time to differentiate yourselves from your alleged opponents!
Apologize publicly for all the lies and innuendo you have spread about one another. Proclaim a healing of America. Start telling us what you would do as a Democrat instead of arguing within the Republican framework.
We know who pays your bills. Shame on you, Senators, for not changing the laws so that we have publicly financed elections. That explains everything, does it not?

Democrats lack a moral compass and wonder why people don't know what they stand for
Naturally, the Democrats Fear Backlash!
"Democrats, who have not controlled the White House since 2000 and the House in more than a decade, have tried over the past year to put aside deep philosophical differences and rally behind a two-pronged strategy to return to power: Highlight the growing number of GOP scandals and score Bush's unpopular war management."
When you try to play both ends against the middle, the results are usually unsatisfactory.
The two-pronged strategy? Legislate like the neoconservatives whenever you think you can get away with it. When your constituents notice, act like a "moderate" Democrat, which is what the liberal Republicans used to be. No wonder the Democratic Party has lost the battle for the hearts and minds of the people. If you do not have convictions, you can't expect people to follow you. Democrats are even afraid of being called liberal any more.
"'We have not blown our chance" of winning back the House but "we have jeopardized it," said a top strategist to House Democrats, who requested anonymity to speak freely about influential party leaders. "It raises questions about whether we are capable of seizing political opportunities or whether we cannot help ourselves and blow it" by playing to the liberal base of the party.'"
Oh heaven forbid that you play to the base of the party, the base that gives you life. Its the liberals who staff your phone banks, who walk precincts, who forward messages to their friends. As a matter of fact, most of the Democrats I work with on these sorts of projects tend more toward Green. Its your liberal base, the people with the conviction that human rights are more important than corporate profits, who keep the Democratic Party alive as a grassroots entity.
So go ahead, Democrats, ignore your so-called liberal base and watch yourselves continue to lose power.
Its just plain embarrassing to be a Democrat now. We have witnessed the Democratic Party blow TWO elections. These should have been a slam dunk. George Bush is a draft-dodging inarticulate child of the rich who mangles the English language and came into the political arena as a right-wing extremist.
Because the Democrats are unable to find a moral compass, Bush was able to take over the government of the United States, and to disastrous results. Stop trying to be like the Republicans, who have caused the deaths of over 2,000 innocent American young people in Iraq, the maiming of tens of thousands of same, and the deaths of over 100,000 Iraq innocents. Just for starters.
