Katrina reminds us there is no replacement for liberalism

Nearly all the good things in this country can be traced to liberals.The end of slavery, the end of child labor, women voting, all voting rights, social security, the list is endless - beginning with the tea in boston harbor. The Tories were pro British.
Let's remember something simple: the Left nearly always wins in the end.

There is a perfectly sane liberal agenda now that the majority already supports. We SHOULD talk more about values - however the power of the rethugs is based on good PR with the help of a media, that until a few moments ago, was asleep - not on what the majority wants. _Good old fashioned liberal values are still what makes America great.

Still we have party leaders like Pelosi who are running a party that stopped mattering in about 1977. They respond to everything as if losing was the assumption. There is still an illusion of 2 parties, as long as that illusion holds the Dems can recover. But not with this leadership. and not on blogs. and not by screaming "fascist" every 3rd word and not by interpreting every issue as if it were 1969, and we were at a "teach in" - and not by NEVER putting forth an agenda. AND MOSTLY NOT BY NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT INFORMATION IS STILL CONVEYED IN THIS COUNTRY ON TELEVISION. This is where national battles are won and lost. I don' t like it either - but it is true. The wing nuts are perfectly happy to dissort on TV all the time. All we have to do is demand fair play, demand to be heard ON TV, and tell the truth - over and over and over again.

And finally it is about CLASS, as much as race. or anything else. If we clearly defend the middle and lower class we win. Americans are fair. When we are engaged we are fair. Democrats have almost an absolute corner on "fair" at this point - and yet Pelosi and company dilly dally. Doing what, I know not. Where are the forward thinkers? Where are the visionaries?

and, to be blunt, why are their publicists not getting them on CNN?

There is no conspiracy - just startling stupidity and victim mentality. The far left will never win, as we are not a far left nation - but the country is naturally a little left of center. it is only BIG business, fear, and laziness that is stopping the middle/left from winning. Winning is a learned skill. We have forgotten how to win, and so we blog and whine about the end of "all good things" - which will continue our losing ways.

Dean was so engaging because he captured a whiff of common sense and truth - then mistakenly thought computers voted. Everything is BAD right now, with what amounts to the worst group of people ever assembled in charge. But it is not all lost. _SPEAK CLEARLY.SPEAK CLEARLY ON TELEVISION.We will win. why? Because we nearly always do and because we are right. It is that simple.
