TIme to stop the attacks on the liberal Democrats. The Party needs us.
Advertisements [?]
There are way too many attacks here on progressives. Progressives are the heart of the Democratic Party. Today, FDR and JFK would be wondering if they were welcome. The Republican Party wins, not by going to center but by going to the right. Likewise, if the Democratic Party distances the left, it is guaranteed to lose in November. The Democratic Party needs to reach out - not to purge potential Democratic voters. I'm willing to bet that most of Nader's votes come more out of anger to the purging than out of support for Nader. It's time the Democratic Party started to remember that people want a difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Kerry was doing fine in the debates, thanks to the influence of Kucinich and Sharpton. Now that the debates are over, he seems to be moving closer to Bush in his positions. He needs to stop this slide to the right. The Republicans won't help Kerry. Only the Democrats and the left will put him in the White House.
