Winning Democrats and their messages - It's no Da Vinci Code. Economic populism presented in American values form seems the common thread for winning campaigns in red states. As red-region progressives show, having the guts to stand up for middle America -- even when it draws the ire of corporate America -- is as powerful a statement about morality and authenticity as any of the GOP?s demagoguery on "guns, God, and gays."
All the Democratic Party has to do is look at the election map: The proof is right there in red and blue. http://tinyurl.com/6sj9g This is the counter to the other argument taking place - Democrats should seek 'A Fighting Faith' by aggressively promoting an aggressive foreign policy. That was also accompanied by a strong suggestion to purge anti-war voters from the party from the formerly leftist neo-con organization. http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=20041213&s=beinart121304 A reasonable response to Beinart is at Talking Point's Memo. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_12_05.php#004186 Gary D. http://elemming2.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
