Reply #21: Liberals? [View All]

[realcountrymusic]

What liberals? (grin) If all of DK's primary voters swung to Bush it wouldn't affect the election. Kerry's supposed to feel indebted to them? Idealistic progressives would do better to get behind Kerry now. As it is, they're earning more enmity than respect from the majority of democratic voters. At least that's my impression. We need to learn party discipline from the rethugs. That's how you win a national election. They ought to know, and we ought to pay attention.

I have nothing against Kucinich. But his moment in the spotlight is over. Dean handled it with class, as did Edwards and Clark and -- for Chrissake -- Al Sharpton. DK is pulling a Nader, and it's starting to look petulant.

Idealism is often inimical to good politics -- and good government.
