AJL:
"How about intelligence and charisma, both of which Mr. Bush seems, shall we say, lacking"
I have said it before and I will again to all of my dem friends. Don't believe he is dumb. You need to know your opponent's strengths and weaknesses to defeat him. As long as the dem strategy is based on the belief that Bush is dumb, we cannot succeed. If we want the White House back we need to face the facts. He is not stupid. He is making the right moves and between Clinton and him the Dems are in total disarray. Solution, first ostracize Clinton from the party. As long as we are perceived to be the party of Clinton, we are dead. Second, don't fight him on the issues that are popular. We need to go back to the real roots of the dem party. Fairness for the middle class, reward hard work and make our Government work. People are tired of schools that don't teach, bloated and inefficient military, the likes of Linda Tripp making 100K salaries, etc, while we dems whine that a tax cut will reduce government services. Our strength has always been to use the government to do good. But many perceive that we are taking their money and wasting it. It is time to make the government work.
