I have gone thru the DU and to be honest it turns my stomach. Wayyy too much hatred on that site to take it seriouisly.

Just checked out Democrats.org, and they have some good ideas but nothing spelled out as to how they plan on implimenting them. The anti bush rhetoric on the sidebars take away somewhat from the message on the page tho.

The DLC site isnt too bad, I will have to check it out to see whats there.

The last site is a bit inacurate for OHio. It has DeWine running again for Senate and he is NOT running, he is done at the end of this term.

Of the 4 DLC is one I will have to look at, but at a quick glance I didnt see much there.

I still say tho, if the democrats want to regain power they need to get their message out there. Unlike many voters out there I dont vote a straight ticket, I look at the issues and the candidates and then go from there.

I do agree with you to an extent. Although the Democratic party does have ideas to tackle issues our country faces, they do tend to focus too much on the "We don't agree with Republicans" side, rather than the "This is what we think will work better" side.

Personally, although thus far I've been arguing on the side of Democrats, I would much more prefer a Republican style government. Simply because my political mantra has always been "the less government the better". However, I don't agree with the Bush administration and voted Democrat the last two years simply because I didn't like the administrations ideas. I'll freely admit that my vote was more against Bush than it was for Democrats. It was this point when I actually started to weed through all the "We're not Republicans" rhetoric some Democrats constantly spew out and actually started reading their take on the issues. They have some good ideas, they have some ideas I don't agree with. At this point, I'd still rather vote for a Moderate Republican than a Democrat, though...

Last local election a candidate for city council was going door to door. I put him on the spot on several issues, I asked h im striaght out what he thought of certain things that effect me and my home(flooding issues, bad roads etc..) Then I looked at what he said in interviews, talked to other people on the street I live on. He told us one thing, but was totally different in his interviews, he didnt get my vote. I hold ALL politicians to that level, now I understand state and federal level cant do EVERYTHING they say they want to do and thats ok, but, atleast make an attempt and keep consistent on what you say. When I see that in a candidate they will get my vote, its too bad more voters are not this way, if they were maybe we wouldnt have the corruption and mess we do now in DC and at many state levels. Once again, I agree.
