Key to Democratic Election Success

Some Democrats are waking up to why their party is having problems appealing to most Americans. Even if I never vote for one of the socialists the Democrats put up to run for national office I agree with Donna Brazile and Timothy Bergreen that for Democrats to be successful they can’t be seen as weak on defense. More important, they definitely can’t be seen as sympathetic to evil regimes as many Democrats sounded throughout the early part of the Iraq invasion (and throughout the cold war). It would be a good thing for the Democrats to exorcise their hippy element, the group in their party against military defense of the United States by the United States for any reason. (There are questions now about whether the Iraqi invasion was justifiable on the national security grounds that Iraq was a direct threat to the United States. That is a subject for another post…and regardless…the hippies would have been against it even if the dangers of Iraq had been absolutely apparent. Blasted hippies.)
