Just a question/observation: It seems to me that the two parties have more in common than they have differences. Do you honestly believe that there would be much change in the way this country is run if the dem's win?
I think that there needs to be a "radical" departure from the norm for any meaningful change to take place. We need at least one more party that actually controls some seats in Congress, otherwise to me and alot of other voting Americans, no matter who wins, things will proceed pretty much as they have been. -----Original Message----- From: Dana Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 8:31 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: interesting: Dean fundraising online well, bob graham is campaigning as "the electable democrat". But I think this is cynicism and part if what ails the Democrats. If they present themselves as just like the Republicans, what is the incentive to vote for them? People may decide to go with the known evil. And this disregards the horde of disenchanted voters out there. Personally, I had not taken a look at the Democratic field before this. The very idea made my eyes glaze over. The last thing the US need is an election with people saying "What's the difference?" I think we need a Democratic candidate who is not afraid to call a spade a spade and who is not going to be polite about the cynical way the govrnment has been run the last few years.
