New DCCC Chairman Predicts Voters Will Have GOP 'Buyer's Remorse'

I agree in principle with what you're saying. And I don't want to engage in a debate on semantics of "cool" and "quiet diplomacy"­.



All I'm trying to say is that if you are under attack from a gang of repugs and you don't engage because a 'street fight' is undignifie­d, then the public will presume you are guilty of the allegation­s. You are judged the loser of the fight and/or cast as "weak" when public attacks are ignored. It's just the way human nature all too frequently works, unfortunat­ely.



There is just no way to win a street fight - nor AVOID a street fight - and remain dignified and avoid ignominy. So better to show some spirit for your agenda and fight for it. If one person believes it's distastefu­l, I suspect there are 5 who will at least respect the effort.



So far, the implementa­tion phase of the agenda as laid out in 2008 appears to me to have been compromise­d so badly that they favor entrenched corporate interests and the wealthy. I don't have polls to back me up on that, but I feel I'm not the only one with that suspicion. So if the best Obama can offer is more 2008 rhetoric, it's just not going to be enough to bring back the souls he has lost in 2010.
