Country Needs Bold, Aggressive Leadership
Very bold and very aggressive. Timid leadership will harm the Party. We need to cut the wild spending that George Bush and Repubs have been addicted to for the last seven years. Spend money where it needs to be spent and cut money where it needs to be cut, starting with the Defense budget. Welcome the Republican criticism and spit in their eye. If we can cut spending and get our economy back on the right track, we will have succeeded. If we are passive in these policies, we will have failed. But, one point that we need to let the people understand is that we are inheriting a mess. A very, very, very big mess. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to clean it up in 4 short years. Let us not forget who put us in the hole we are in.

The Democratic Party needs to do something for the people once again. They have sat on their laurels of the New Deal for much too long. No matter what the cost, they should push thru universal healthcare. The cannot be dissuaded by the criticism of the right-wing. They must be bold and aggressive in promoting a new agenda for the people of this country. The Republicans be damned!

3. Everything bad we have with Bush II, just less of all the bad stuff.

Hillary = Bush Lite. Not a big change, just a slight move to the left.
