Reply #7: I'll say it again; Dems need to wise up. [View All]

Forget about campaigning on abortion, same-sex marriage, gun control, all the hot button wedge issues, which will ultimately decided by courts, not through the electoral process, and FOCUS on how THEY are screwing US over. Our differences on the wedge issues are keeping us from uniting to throw the corporatists out of office.

People used to vote Democratic if they wanted to live like Republicans, as Harry Truman said it, but the GOP has bamboozled half the electorate by pushing the wedge issues to the front.

It's not about moving to the middle. It's about showing people whose beliefs range from left to right that their needs are best served by the Democrats. It's about getting them to think about issues other than their emotional issues.
