boadicea, The Democratic Part I agree needs to be redefined But not farther to the Left. We need to engulf and engage the average citizen. Litmus test on abortion is not a defining element of a Democrat. Maybe for a progressive. The Voting Record can only tell us how they voted it give us no insight on why. Many times you need to barter and trade out according to priorities. In the Case of Cornyn look at his interaction with Solomon Ortiz Sr and the non voting record of Ortiz. Ortiz influences from underneath and he works with infamous Carpet Baggers like Randy & Tom Delay, Cornyn, not Kay Bailey. The reason we call em Carpet Baggers is by calling them by their legitimate name is promoting in nature.
Right now we need to work together to include the Progressive within the Party but when it comes to Democratic Policy we need to present reasonable parameters. Who cares if I kicked the incumbent or a candidate who is going to win, if I kick him a grand or two. I am donating to him for his consideration and his ear. That does not mean I dictate policy to him but that he will give me the chance to convince him to adopt some or none of what I believe in.
Watt are your top three issues when choosing a candidate in the Democratic primary.
Cornyn wasn’t counting on a spending contest. With a united effort we will attract the Democratic Right & the Republican Left. The aggressive Progressives will need to moderate a bit in order for it to happen. Even when we go after Cornyn, we need to be reasonable. Quit calling them Republicans, they are carpet baggers. We don’t need to over exaggerate their faults and go on and on. Just point out the facts. To say it with a severely postured rhetoric accomplishes not a thing except it compromises credibility and objectivity and those attributes we need to solidly establish to overrun this Carpet Bagger Machine. The Carpet Baggers are over compensating as well. We accomplish nothing by being disingenuous, it is time to trim down where we take issue to our strongest points and make it where we dont sound the alarm everytime a Carpet Bagger druels on himself. Right now both sides are making a lot of chatter accomplishing nothing. Chose your battles to be the most important and influential battles that we can win in the eyes of the average citizen seated at the middle right. Quit harping about the religious and far right and let’s sell them WATT we believe in within reason. When we speak make it short and if they dont agree move on. Let get our Candidates to make a contract with the people of Texas. A Carpet Bagger is incapable of this kind of commitment.
Our strengths and we exploit their weaknesses.
