This right wing bunch will make fun of you even if you compromise.

They do not care if you are nice and compromise. They just don't care. They are going to use the Gingrich et al tactics of humiliation against whomever we have in the spotlight.

I was afraid Dean and Franken would have words on this, but they didn't. I am afraid I agree with Howard Dean on this. He is telling groups he speaks to that we are in a type of civil war. And we are.

If you stand up to them, they will try to destroy you. If you compromise with them....they will try to destroy you.

Which is better?

2. And tell the truth about what they are doing.

That is what we have to do.

3. Yes, and ACT differently from them as well.

Skip triangulation - it's suicide for Democratic principle.

4. Never back down. Never compromise.

Never with these low lifes. They see any compromise as a weakness instead of an asset.

5. Correct

The democrats, whether they believe it or not, are on the right side of the issues. Issue by issue, we should point out the differences.

8. exactly the point.

They're not interested in compromise. Seems to me we want far too much to make nice with fuckers who'd just as soon see us dead.
