It's democrats like you that enable the George Bush's of the world keep winning elections.

I've got three words for "Max Longstreet"...Bring it On. No, seriously. I fail to understand how I am the great enabler. Or what exactly I enable by pointing out that personality matters in politics and that Edwards wears better on voters than Dean or Bush.
At one point I fell for the "Dean will change politics" meme. I wish it had and that millions of non-voters would be poring out to the polls. But it clearly wasn't the case for the primaries, where increased turnout didn't help Dean at all, and I don't think it would have been for the general election.
Get over it -- we can't always get what we want. I have a feeling that my guy (Edwards) is about to lose but I'll start working for Kerry and other Democrats the day the nomination is over, if Kerry wins. How that will enable George Bush or any other Republican to win, I've yet to determine.

union members are dems, right? and so are environmental types, no? if dems agree on everything, more or less, why do unions favor drilling in Alaska and the environmentals don't. In fact, can it not be stated that unions favor ecomonic expansion, since that means more due-paying jobs, while the greens would like to shut down economic activity? And how many "ruffneck" union types do you think really support gay rights? Come to think of it, how many catholic Hispanics and blacks support gay rights? Isn't the Dem party just a coalition party made up seperate groups pushing their own agendas? Each group just trying to "get theirs" from the establihment
