Why Democrats suck.
While I do believe in a majority of the values of the Democratic party, more than a few things drive me up a fuckin' wall. Rather than supporting some Iraq war vets who want to run for congress or the senate, the party can't find a way to make them fit into their "matrix". These are people of my generation. The Democratic party is run my a bunch of baby-boomer pussies who want to keep the influence to themselves. Ah, guys in case you have not noticed, YOU LOST TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE OF YOUR OWN GENERATION BECAUSE YOU LET THE GOP PUSH YOU AROUND. Now you isolate the people who put Clinton in the White House (my generation) to stay in positions of (percieved) power.
Why did John Kerry lose? Simple answer: Terry McCulife (excuse the proble mis-spell). At the Democratic convention in 2004, he ran a platform of not bashing the GOP. Keeping everything above the belt. Did the GOP return the favor? HELL NO!!! They ran their chicken hawk president out there and made him a hero.
What did the Dems do? Let them turn John Kerry into a wimp. A guy who actually served in Viet Nam, not someone in the Air National Guard. (Although I will admit, the viet cong never invaded while W was in the the guard.)
What can I do you ask? Apply pressure at a local level to get your voice heard. The baby boomers for too long have led this country down a bad path. They were supposed to be the ones who would change the world for the better. They failed. It is now our turn!

while i agree that the democrats have been lame in their ability to keep the honor of our votes, i wonder if it's baby boomers or if it's really the affluent of the baby boomer generation. once balking the establishment and then becoming the establishment is an epiphany we all are inevitabley going to have; my guess is that the affulence of said establishment is what fucks everything up. i know for a fact money is the root of all american security and therefore creates a culture of fear of losing security. it is a no-brainer to me that the democratic party fears losing $$$ more than anything else and that more than anything else keeps them impotent!
interesting, very interesting
