Reply #6: Leadership isn't always about strategy [View All]

I don't know why they don't get it. The Democratic party has been hit again and again on "having no ideas, not standing for anything" I know some of this is RW crap, but here is an opportunity to stand up and say, "we will not compromise. Americans do not Torture. We will not stand for this". F**k the wingnuts, fundies and neocons. They are not America. The Republican party, long ago, was formed in large part because of people who took a similar stand for Abolition. Now the Democratic party is faced with a similar choice. I have to believe there are a majority of Americans who are decent and believe in maintaining a civilized society. If these folks can't get that from either party, we may see a repeat of the 1850's and a new party. I don't want that-I want to see these highly paid, famous people stand up and be counted when we need them the most.

Sometimes the best strategy is to just lead, regardless of the naysayers.
