Reply #50: You are doing a fine job of the attack without substance. [View All]

“If you expect people to listen to your advice, then you ought to have some credentials. I assumed I was talking to someone who had a clue about current events when I said, "Oh, come on!" Are you REALLY in the dark about GLOBAL CROSSING? You aren't aware of the hold Microsoft has over Democrats and Republicans alike? And you aren't aware of corruption in the Democratic Party?”

"Now, not once have you offered any substance to your claim, only the accusation, when asked to support your position about "corruption" you attack rather than offer facts."

”Because I ASSUMED I was talking to someone who has a clue about these front-page issues. If I had known you were in the dark, I might have posted links to some online references.”

See, again you have made my point. By repeating the charges even more vehemently, but offering no substance you have perfected the strategy that is employed all too often against the Democrats. The difference is that they take the bait, lending the charges credibility.

"Your objection to campaigning like our opponents seems to stem for a concern that it doesn’t improve democracy. Well our current strategy of losing elections to folks who lie about reasons for war, mortgage our future, allow treason in the White House and steal elections isn’t improving the quality of democracy."

”Yet most Democrats campaign just like you're advising them to - substituting slogans for substance. The best example is public education. Check out education statements from 1,000 Democratic candidates, and they'll sound almost exactly like Ralph Nader's: Let's give education more money without accountability. Democrats are as clueless about education as Republicans; they need to get their act together.”

Since you offer no specifics I don’t have any way to reply.

"We want to win; the point of victory is to save the world. People can educate themselves if they please."

”If you think a mob of corrupt Democrats, spiked with an honest individual here and there, is going to save the world, you're sadly mistaken. A democracy is only as strong as its fundamental building block, and if you aren't working to educate and rally the public, you're no better than the Republicans.”

Actually I don’t think that a mob of corrupt Democrats would save the world, and I don’t remember saying that such a crew would save anything. What I am advocating is Democrats winning elections by employing Republican strategies, that’s all. The public is perfectly welcome to educate itself.
