'Evening Folks.
I have a few personal thoughts to share.
We are here to get Democrats elected to public office. That is the only way to start the healing process and minimize the scarring resulting from the wounds inflicted by the NeoCons and their enablers. On that point we can agree. I hope. We cannot create change until we are in a position to make changes happen. That should be our mantra.
But we seem to get distracted quite easily, to the delight of the very NeoCons we hope to defeat.
We like to fight/snipe/get snippy among ourselves. While this might be satisfying, it does give ammo to the enemy. There is no sense in getting nasty. We agree on far more issues than not. We should concentrate on those points. We should lean on the candidates to define themselves to us. Not let our squabbles define us to the NeoCons. And allow the NeoCons to define us to the greater public.
We can be very "one-issue" to the detriment of the larger picture. Everybody is entitled to their priorties. Of that there is no question. Then again, we can allow more Republicans to get elected because our nominee did not come out strongly on our pet issue. We lose sight of the goal.
Danger Below The Fold.
