IF, IF, the Democrats are hte party of losers, it is only a temporary affliction. Remeber that in the late 80's and until 1994 in the Clinton years the REpublicans were the minority party.

This is the most telling part of the report:

$1:
The Republican Party is doing a better job of standing up for its core issues than is the Democratic Party, according to their respective constituents. Liberals are particularly negative about the performance of the Democratic Party.


Therin lies the rub. It's not that the Dems have unpopular ideas, it's just the GOP is much more effective at makeing sure people know what it stands for (supposed to at least).

Well from the Liberal POV, Conservatives are warmongering, women-hating, homophobic racists armed to the teeth with surface to air missiles "A'int no guldamn buzzard flyin' o'er my piece o' dirt!" and/or armour piercing ammo for those 'super' deer sportin' bulletproof fur.

The Democrats are being hung by the gay marriage issue. Their propensity for pushing this agenda in the courts when it fails time and again in the legislatures and at the ballot box is costing them support EXCEPT among their more radical members.

The result is that we now hear in the media about 'Conservative' and 'Moderate' Democrats when during the Reagan era there were no such schisms in the Democrat ranks.

The GOP is also fracturing as the leadership moves more left to try to capture the disaffected Democrats but this is being done at the cost of the stalwart Conservatives who provide the bulk of GOP donor bases and volunteers.

If the USA were to embrace a parliamentary government tomorrow I believe we'd end up with at least seven major parties.

And from our point of view liberals are a bunch of statist, Communist-socialists who smoke pot, butt-fuck, and conspire to rob other people of their earnings, their holdings, and their guns.

Even if the Democratic party were flawless in the execution of their message, they would be "losers". They're a defeatist entity, basically.

They haven't picked a *real* likeable candidate in years, and when they did, they gave up on him. John Mccain could have had my vote, but they threw their eggs into Gore's basket - and Gore's wife is the queen of
(yes, ultra-religious) censorship. I think they like to lose.

I dislike their "total" platform with few exceptions, because they have gone off the deep end, and can't hold the attention of the common man if they try to push or ban certain items as law. Choice is the key.

The citizen's right to choose is paramount, regardless of what the agenda item is: pushing Abortion, banning gun ownership, No elective private social security accounts, censoring religion, letting welfare run amok, etc.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! For shame Bart. You better be careful with the language or I'll have to tell Marge and she'll wash your mouth out with soap!

If anything, the Republicans are just as slpit as the Dems. The GOP seems to be splitting along religious lines. There are the Frists who get in bed with Religious Right for votes and the more normal Republicans like McCain who stay away from those people but are still Republicans at heart.

And Pork is right that the Dems haven't picked a good candidate since Clinton. Gore was too boring and Kerry wasn't the right guy to beat a guy like Bush during "wartime".

And what sort of judicial activism do the Deocrats engage in Godz?

It's a little hard to say what will happen in the mid-terms and 2008. A lot of things can happen in the interim.

No The Republicans are not as divided as the dems make it seem.

And McCain has learned his lesson from the 2000 primaries (where he attacked the religious right and got creamed in the Southern primaries).


McCain got creamed also because Bush and co. started a bunch or nasty rumours about McCain (father of a black bastard child, was gay, accused of "collaborating" with the Vc to escape captivity). Kerry got the same treatment last year.
