CITIZEN ALERT v1.41
MYPARTY

So, today I received my newsletter from Howard Dean with some exciting news that they were launching a new component of the Democratic Party's website called PARTYBUILDER. A social network modeled after MySpace where you can create your own profile, add other liberal friends, and stay in touch with other DEMS in your zip code or find out what DEM events are going down in your town.

Is this a good idea? Yes. Is it a great idea? Well, it would have been a great idea if the Republicans didn't send me the same message of launching their own MySpace knock off like 2 or 3 months ago with MyGOP.

Howard! Baby! Geez! You're my party (for the moment) and I believe you're the party with ideas, but when it comes to elections...agh! You're always chasing the REPUBS. Dean even admits in the newsletter, "When it comes to the mechanics of running elections, Democrats have in the past been accused of showing up to a gunfight with only a knife. " You don't say.

Here's how I break down the REPUBLICAN PARTY. They don't really care about your problems, they care about your vote. They don't really care about fixing important issues, they only care about how they can position themselves around them to get into office.

Examples: Republicans love to cut taxes. Doesn't matter that they run the country into a huge deficit; in their playbook the country can absorb a huge deficit and they all know that a good thing can't last forever and the DEMS will eventually get back in office and when they do, it's the DEMS that clean up the REPUBLICAN'S mess and balance the budget. Then the next election rolls around and it's "We're going to cut your taxes, and give you back YOUR money. Elect us!"

Another example: They are pro-life and pro death penalty, meaning they can go make speeches about saving babies and killing criminals while Democrats have to defend killing babies and saving criminals. Are we right? Of course, because it's not that oversimplified, but the conservatives can oversimplify anything to point where defending free speech becomes unpatriotic!

I'm getting really tired of these transparent patriots with their plastic moralities spewing out propaganda like they've got a pocket full of "Get out of Jail Free" cards in their breast pockets, and middle America stands there and asks for another spoonful.

Why are we the only ones that see right through the right?

Dean and his Democrats better come out swinging this election because when it comes to governing this country I think we have them beat hands down, but when it comes to running elections...well...where's our Diebold?
