I agree with what almost everyone said about the Dems.
If you look at the Democratic map, it might as well call itself New Englifornia. I remember during the Gore campaign he said, "we dont need the South" in an offhand remark which I'm pretty sure he didnt know the camera was on. Well that got played a LOT down here, and lots of Dem friends of mine said fuck the democratic party and went republican from that. I'm sure Florida has gotten lots of dem. attention but other than that all we hear is from people like Moore saying how stupid and backwards we are because we support a guy who actually lives down here.
Stop trying to make white people feel bad to be white. Affirmative Action was great long ago, but now this % black, % white vote pisses off as many blacks as whites that I know. You cant convince a "good ol' boy" to vote for you if you tell him because what his great-great grandaddy did (or maybe even didnt do) he cant get hired.
Tell Hollywood to STFU. Sorry, but 99% of the US only laughs when P. Diddy, and Streisand tells us who to vote for. It's hard to pretend to be the "party of the people" when all of the visible supporters are multi-million dollar people with no visible talent, or any reasonable claim of political intelligence.
I hear all the time on these boards of neo-cons. Well most Republicans are moderates, as well as Democrats. If Bush continues on his slope of pandering to the far right you have a great opening of grabbing some of those ex-Reps., instead of nominating an ultra-liberal voter for president try a moderate one we can't hate for his voting record.
Personality... Gore.. then Kerry. It's REALLY hard to get behing people who cant answer a simple question withing 15min.
