What are the values espoused by the Democrats.

They vow to steal more money in the way of high taxes from the rich. Not very nice.

They vow to protect the freedom of choice for women to have an abortion. Dubious choice for the unborn.

They vow to protect the environment. How are they going to stop people from driving to work?

They vow to come up with alternate energy sources. The market must develop the technology for alternate fuel.

They vow to eliminate the debt. Since it has always been there, most people have gotten used to it. Maybe Reform of Social Security will let people buy US debt to reduce foreign ownership. More demand for US debt would keep interest rates down.

They vow to encourage gay marriage. At the state level, gay mariage was voted down by 2/3's of the people. Time for the gay population to stop blaming the Republicans on this issue when society is overwhelmingly against the idea of 2 men living together as man and wife.

The problem with the Democrats is they are always trying to fight another cause. They want to take away from the successful and give away entitlements. The minority of poor people may believe them and vote 90% of the time for Kerry. The younger voters that are coping with their college induced liberalism will think they have to side with Democrats on a moral level. A majority of the women may vote for him to protect the rights of other women to cling to abortion rights.

The Democrats lost because their aspirations for change have no correlation to reality outside of the urban mess of the big cities. Who really cares about gay marriage? Who really thinks the Dems can do a damn thing about the environment? Who really thinks anyone can afford national healthcare?
