Go to the left people...

It's a time of retreat for us liberal progressive types. We lost. Whether fair and square or not, we got our asses handed to us. Now we need to regroup, stop crying over recounts and kick some ass. We need to solidify our message, our beliefs, our positions. If there was a consistent problem with Kerry's campaign it was the appearance of change. Now changing your opinion is good. No doubt about that, but we must do what the right did and convince them we are right. Studies show people on the right believe things not true. We must get people to believe things that are true. We must do what Karl Rove does and get the message out. No more being pussies. No more wishy washy stuff. Don't say yes civil unions, no marriage for gays. No, take a stand: gay marriage yes. War in Iraq: no. Be the opposite of them. Bush and his cronies do stand for things. We know that, their followers know that. They may not be the same things, but they are resolute. They are bullheaded, stubborn people. We bend in the wind, we listen to polls to craft our message. No longer. We lay out our points and we stick to them. We don't pander to groups. We let them know where we stand and they will come to us. Trust me, they will come. We are for people. Pure and simple. We are for the future. We are for science. We are for progress. Our ideas and views are almost always the exact opposite of them, so why can we not get that across? We lose to bold face liars. That has to end now. The choice in 2008 is not just putting Hillary on the ticket. That's asking for failure. We look to bright up and comers like Barak Obama and we stick to our guns.
Look at the map of red and blue. They have more land, but we have more people. And lots of people may want to keep their guns, but they want to keep their jobs more.

"but we have more people" -- ummm... wouldn't the popular vote suggest otherwise?

Seriously. I'm not an anti-liberal, Kerry-hater. Nor do I agree with everything that's been/being pushed for by Bush. I'm probably more libertarian than anything, but that isn't a serious option on the ballot now, is it?

I'm always in favor of a good conversation about issues -- without name calling and gross generalizations. ("bold face liars"? Be specific.)
