Thanks for proving my point 🙂...liberals will never change.It's not enough to vote for the lesser of two evils.
In our 2004 national election the Conservatives were getting looked at but all they had to say is a bunch of negative accusations for the governing liberals. In the most recent election they had a full platform with great ideas, and completely dominated the discussion and campaign. The democrats need to have a policy convention; come to consensus (Conservatives here voted to fully support a woman's right to choose) and create new ideas and a vision for the nation.
Up until now the democrat vote seems to come from anti-republican sentiment. Time for the democrats to give the average person a reason to vote for them; taxing the rich and creating social programs are neither visions nor solutions. The average American is not anti-christian, pro-big government; the democrats need to understand this concept when marketing themselves.
A right leaning Democrat would do very well this day in age; someone with the track record of financial discipline. A new englander is out of the question; the democrats need to get someone who understands all areas of the nation; not just the elitist north east. A man like Evan Bayh would be the Republican's worst nightmare. He's a fiscal conservative (balanced the books and gave tax cuts), is very popular in the republican friendly state of indiana, and has that clean cut youthful and presidential look the democrats need (ref. Bush, Clinton).
Leadership, Policy, Marketing. These are what the democrats NEED to change. I'm afraid they are too stuck in their ways to change before 2008; we can only hope.

One of the more recent threads was trying to understand why the democrats haven't been as successful as republicans. The quote is my suggestion; blaming/taxing/hating the rich is not a vision nor a solution to any problem.Originally posted by: arsbanned

Lets get that perfectly straight! 🙂
But yes I do watch BBC; but only for news. Funny thing though, i really don't like the traditional right wing media outlets. I like CBC, BBC, Reuters, Toronto Star and the Economist for my news.
