8. Exactly. How are we going to get elected by simply bashing Bush?

He's not even running!

Why don't we tell Americans what WE stand FOR, rather than why the idiot in the White House is such a moron?

"Here, America. This is what we're gonna do:"

What's so hard about that?

5. Democratic Party SHOULD be for removing earmarks from legislation,

or severely limiting this. This would make the clearest distinction from Repubs over Abramoff scandal, congressional corruption.

4. "Do the hundreds of billions spent in Iraq (not to mention lives) instead

7. Yes yes and yes. I think the talking points all lend themsleves to a

pretty clear about what Dems should be about. Just look at what the pubs have done. Thats the point of the talking points.

The talking points can easily be successfully debated. Any political candiate worth a donkeys dingo should be able to demonstrate that overall they represent failures of policy and leadership.

If anyone wants to debate that point by defending any one of the talking points they are doomed to turning public opinion and most likely the vote against them.
