Kos remembers a few "truths" we were told abouts Dems right after the 2004 election:

Remember how electing Howard Dean chair of the Democratic Party would spell the end of Democratic chances in 2006? Remember how the netroots would spell the end of Democratic chances in 2006? Remember how calling for an Iraq pullout would spell the end of Democratic chances in 2006? In a couple of days, we'll find out if those claims turned out to be true.

I remember a few others "truths" we were told--

How Dems had to have a "positive" agenda, a "plan" for Iraq, reach out to "values voters," abandon choice, listen to Rahm Emanuel about trying to eke out 16 seat in the House, "get serious" about national security (i.e. - adopt Joe Lieberman's views), and so on.

All nonsense.

cpinva - I keep asking the same question to those who I know are Demos... Let's assume that you guys get the Senate and the House...

What is your plan?? Do like Vitenam and cut the funding and just wait for the enemy to take over?

Inquiring minds want to know cpinva. If you can, tell me what you want to do besides cut and run??

Remember, I want National Health Care, support women and gay rights and believe we need to reform the drug laws. So how about satisfying my desire for a strong national defense before we do the other...

Tell me your plans oh wise one.

ok, the dems have reached out..................... (none / 0) (#1)

to values voters, just not the same ones that the republicans are reaching out to. frankly, when did the republicans get granted a monopoly on "values"? apparently, i missed that.
