1. well I suppose we could win the South back if we renounced the 1964 Civil Rights Act

But I would not be willing to pay that price.

4. What would those be, dear?

We really can't have a discussion until we agree on terms.

5. Something you believe in, you believe is a Democratic principle

or value and you would not be prepared to compromise.

6. Kinda tough to figure out what those are these days, don't you think?

Perhaps a better way to phrase would be traditional Democratic values or principles.

Seems to me that if the leadership in Congress understood and stood up for those, if they honored their fathers and mothers -we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The far right and their sycophants in the corporate media, on the other hand-they probably would.
