Truth…

…from Liberal Oasis...
Republicans Have No Ideas, Only Enemies.
It's not hard to find complaints that the Democrats don't have any ideas, but that's not really our problem. We have lots of ideas, sometimes too many, with all kinds of intramural sniping between factions. That's fine in a Platonic 'free marketplace of ideas' sort of way but often politically infuriating for those in search of a cohesive message.

You want ideas? The DNC's got ideas

1. American jobs that will stay in America, using energy independence to generate those jobs.

2. A strong national defense based on telling the truth to our citizens, our soldiers and our allies.

3. Honesty and integrity to be restored to government.

4. A health care system that works for everybody just like they have in 36 other countries.

5. A strong public education system so we can have optimism and opportunity back in America.
Those are fine, but they aren't the only ones. These work for me, too...
"Tell the truth; fire the incompetents; find Osama bin Laden and secure our ports and homeland; bring our troops home from Iraq; obey the law and protect our civil rights.

"Stop subsidizing big oil and start investing in energy alternatives; make access to affordable health care a right and not a privilege; reduce the deficit and respect work over wealth; chase the money changers from the temple of democracy; and invest in education and fight for American jobs that restore the American dream."

Yeah, it's that Kerry fella again.

No shortage of ideas there. Big ideas. Democratic ideas.

And what do Republicans have? A parade of bogeymen, all of whom can be dispatched with tax cuts and bloodshed. The contemporary Republican Party is intellectually comatose. There's no visible hope of revival. This is the Republican concept of a 'maverick'…



They're brain dead. Time to pull the plug.
