Aloha! <wave>,
Yes, I agree 100% with your assessment and quite frankly opened JJ's post by
accident.  I usually ignore his pale streams of garbage.  It is said that
adolescent posturing and name-calling are signs of lack of confidence.  Time
magazine summed it up in their cover story this way:  "This lack of
confidence has shriveled the Democrats.  They run for office in shackles of
their own making."  [_Time_, "How to Build a Better Democrat", May 19, 2003,
page 35]  Earlier it says, "And the Democrats enter the fray with all the
shape and substance of fog.  'People have no idea what we stand for," says
Stan Greenberg, a Democratic pollster."  [ibid. page 30]

I wonder how long it will take the Democrats to wrest their party from the
lunatic fringe.  The headline on the cover of the May 19, 2003 issue of
"Time" magazine declared:  "WHY THEY DON'T MAKE DEMOCRATS LIKE THEY USED TO".
Inside, the Table of Contents referred to the Democrats as the party "we've
come to know and ridicule".  The article states that the Democrats have
excelled at futility for over 30 years". [page 28]  It notes that the
Democrats have elected 2 presidents in that time, Jimmy Carter and Bill
Clinton:  "Both were governors of Southern states.  Neither was a well-known
party leader.  Neither ran on what many Democrats would consider a
traditional - that is liberal - agenda.  Carter was the first born-again
Christian;  Clinton once owned a pickup truck with AstroTurf carpeting the
back.  Carter won because he seemed a simple, honorable antidote to the
excessive dishonesty of the Nixon era.  Clinton won because he was far more
talented than his opponents, George H. W. Bush and Bob Dole - but also
because he rejected his party's orthodoxy on crime (especially the death
penalty), welfare reform, free trade and fiscal conservativism.  One could
argue that the only winning strategy in the past nine presidential campaigns
has been camouflage."  [page 30]

It goes on to say, "They [the Democrats] will have to convince the public
that they are as committed to national defense and to the judicious use of
military force, as the Republicans are.  They will have to shed their
cogenital pessimism.  They can't just rant against the Administration and
hope for bad news to confirm their prejudices."  [page 31]

About Democrat whining, it asks, "Who would want to spend four years with
such spoilsports whining away on TVs in the kitchens and family rooms of
America?"  [page 34].  If the Democrats keep doing what they're doing,
they're going to keep getting what they're getting.  And people like Juan
Jimenez do their causes irreperable damage.  No one could hire people to
cause worse publicity and portray the Democrats in a worse light than
Leftwing Liberals freely do without pay!  KM
