How Can U.S. Democrats Win? Muzzle the Wackos......

Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 12:53 PM by alexisfree

Ferguson is a columnist for Bloomberg News. The opinions expressed are his own.
--- Perhaps Democrats thought they were bringing Moore into the mainstream; instead, he brought them to the radical fringe. I'm not sure whether a showman like Moore can ever be hushed in the way Republicans have managed to stifle their own wackos. But Democrats need to try.

Otherwise they face the truth of a favorite red-state axiom: ``You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.'' And fleas don't vote.

5. He's a fool. How does he explain the broad success of the

Republicans, when their biggest stars are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Olliver North, etc., etc.?

No, the Democrat's biggest problem is that they've already muzzled their most honest, partisan voices. The problem is in moving rightward and isolating the left.

Well, that and vote fraud.

9. That's the beauty of a Big Tent

Everyone gets to speak.

And further, "Muzzle their wackos" is rather repugnant to me in the context of a democracy.
