Analysis: Democrats wary of November vote - Yahoo! News

Who the hell knows what's going on?

I'm not real sure if anyone knows with any certainty what the Democratic strategy is, if anything. Given the mess this country is in, any Democrat might be somewhat forgiven for being a bit overwhelmed by it and the quickly changing landscape.

There has never been another time like this in recorded history. Oh, yes there are human cycles, just as there is every other kind of cycle on earth.

Seems, many of our leaders are somewhat paralyzed, somehow, or are about to be.

Nevertheless, if the Democrats do not come up with a plan to energize their base; like taking a strong moral and ethical stand on the real issues of the day, and the divisive ones that we know will be cast on them, the GOP will still be a very viable force in DC.

I, personally, would rather see them swept from power for while; a long while, actualy.

Thing is, I am not so sure that the Democrats, too, may not need to come down as well.

I hope we see a major and viable third party or several parties, so that in America, we never see anything like the past 5 years, if not the last 40 years, again.

Seems to me that both the Liberals and Conservatives have been sold out by their respective parties

(But more on all these meaningless labels later.)



Analysis: Democrats wary of November vote - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON - Republicans are three steps from a November shellacking, each a grim possibility if habitually divided Democrats get their acts together.

First step: Voters must focus on the national landscape on Nov. 7 rather than local issues and personalities that usually dominate midterm elections.
That would sting Republicans, who trail badly in national polls.
Second step: Voters must be so angry at Washington and politics in general that an anti-incumbent, throw-the-bums-out mentality sweeps the nation.
That would wound Republicans, the majority party.

Third step: Americans must view the elections as a referendum on President Bush and the GOP-led Congress, siding with Democrats in a symbolic vote against the Iraq war, rising gas prices, economic insecurity and the nagging sense that the nation is on the wrong track.

That would destroy Republicans, sweeping them from power in one or both chambers and making Bush a lame duck."
