Can Democrats win elections with a strategery of defeatism?

Question

The ENTIRE campaign platform of the DNC seems to be wrapped up in defeatism of the United States. Think about it:

They oppose outsourcing cheap labor even though our jobless rate has fallen. The new jobs in the US are HIGHER PAYING than the jobs outsourced.

They propose withdrawing troops from war areas before the peace is secured just so they can oppose President Bush about something. I understand that most liberals in the DNC are anti-war hippies at all costs, but this is crazy.

It seems like ANY good news for the US is a defeat for the DNC. Real personal wealth going up, record job growth with higher wages, and soaring receipts into the Federal treasury contradict their notion that Bush has ruined the economy.

Thousands of terrorists killed or captured and Al-Quada's fighting ability being reduced to IED's contradicts their notion that Bush has lost the war.

If you're entire campaign is wrappen in anti-Bush, will people actually vote for you?

I'm not sure what "Roseknows" but apparently it isn't anything to do with politics. If "Rose" thinks that the economy, jobs, personal wealth, and national security don't have anything to do with elections ... we may now know why libs always fail to win national elections. Dumbass.

"NightShade", sweetheart, we're talking NATIONAL elections. Nobody cares what happened in local Mississippi elections. To be honest, I didn't know Mississippi was still a state. I thought they'd turned it into a parking lot for Alabama and Louisiana already.

As usual ... "MishMash" has absolutely no point whatsoever. I absolutely LOVE MishMash because it proves that the "force" behind the DNC is weak-minded and no threat this November.

"Achilles", buddy, someone's blog isn't "proof" of anything.

Mishy, I don't care if you post my email. I'm not ashamed of what I wrote, I sent it as an email because the Yahoo! Answers TOS says you can't post stuff like that here. Oopsie for you.

The problem with your argument is that I didn't base my entire point on name-calling ... but you did. Oopsie again.

Mishy, by the way, you even messed up posting my email. You got my email mixed in with the comment about the uterus from the other guy. CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?

Answer 1

Exactly, dems have blown it already with their relentless negativity and lack of realistic solutions to our problems. What they really need to do is excise their extremist faction so they can attract more swing voters. Unfortunately, the economy is damn good (hell, my unemployed roommate so a new F150 on credit). So they don't have that to fall back in.

I want Dems like Roosevelt and Jack Kennedy. Not anti-American whiners who think nothing is winnable and run around like Chicken Little all day long.

Answer 2

Here is your answer:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Yesterday, Angela Cokerham the Democratic candidate for a southwest Mississippi House seat, received 68.5 percent of the vote in a special election, easily winning the District 96 seat. Cockerham's win is the fifth Democratic victory in a Mississippi special election this year.

"These Democratic victories in Mississippi demonstrate that when Democrats show up and talk about what they believe in, even in a state which Bush carried by 60 percent in 2004, they can win elections," said Democratic National Committee Spokesperson Amaya Smith. "Across the country from Virginia, to New Jersey, to California, and in Mississippi the Democratic message continues to resonate with voters.

Democrats always lose elections? Didn't Clinton beat Bush's Daddy?

Answer 3

Didn't Bush senior lose the presidency to Bill Clinton. Lots of people thought that couldn't happen but OOOPS!
Guess your wrong, Dems can win NATIONAL elections. My father is Repub, and he says Repubs are taking Dems seriously, that's why a lot of Repubs are putting distance between them and Bush. Here's proof.

Yahoo wishes, Buddy, here is a national newspaper site with the quotes coming directly from the horses, er, elephants mouth. ANd no comment about Clinton beating the pojees out of Bush Sr? I'm disappointed...

Answer 4

Dude ... you're WAY off here. It's still too early in the day for liberal sodomites to be out of their drug-haze from yesterday to effectively debate a question this long. For example, look at that stupid post from MishMash ... it's not even a rebuttle and it shows absolute defeat in the face of your question. All she has is to make fun of a typo? I guess Stuart Smalley didn't tell her how to respond to questions like this on his show today.

Answer 5

It depends on where you live. And it depends on how much money you can raise. And it depends on who would be stupid enough to try to defeat a lame duck president.

The rest of your issues are red herrings. They have nothing to do with anything. So, what's your point?

Do you dislike Democrats? Do you dislike the Democratic Party? Do you dislike Republicans? Do you dislike the Republican Party?

Are you contesting strategy? Are you condemning public policy?

Either you don't get it or you think these issues you raise have some impact on Democratic and Republican platforms. They don't. So, what is your point?

Answer 6

"wrappen" - I don't know what this word means. Is it Conservative lingo?

Oh, gross! LOVE? Gross. I was simply pointing out that you are not as smart and wise as you claim to be. By the by, thanks for the hate email. I posted it for everyone to read. It really sheds some light on your personal character.

Dixon Tudeep, you are disgusting! "Sometimes it just goes in too deep and BAM ... I rupture the uterus. Makes a helluva mess. "
***
"Message: "Next time, if you want to debate me, maybe do it without name calling."

You meant, "Next time, if you want to debate me, don't make sense because I can't debate logic."

I've got you all figured out. You're nothing, you have no independent though process, and you think in media sound-bites instead of reason. You're a typical liberal."

Now this guy is thinking for me?!? Guy, you KNOW NOTHING about me. Plus, name-calling is not logic.

Not mixed in, just an observance I wanted to share. Your first email is in a blog. The one posted here is your second email.
You can play spindoctor with my words all you want Yahoo, you will never break my spirit or my beliefs. I will continue to think for myself and not let demanding, hurtful people scare me into thinking what they want me to.

Answer 9

Apparently it worked for republicans with their relentlessly negative attacks of Clinton in the 90's. Maybe democrats think it will work for them too.

Answer 10

I love sarcasm.
