This reason, among the growing list of 2008 reasons to elect a progressive President in 2008, is not about the Republicans. It’s about the Democrats.
The following quote is attributed to President Harry S. Truman: “”In a race between a Republican and a Republican, the Republican wins every time.”
I’m not sure if Truman actually said it, but that’s not the point. The quote isn’t powerful because Truman said it. It’s powerful because it’s spot on accurate, and it’s obviously so.
Whenever Democrats nominate politicians from amongst their numbers who support the Republican agenda in order to electable, the chance for a real Democratic victory is lost. The Republican will win, even if the Republican is wearing the name of Democrat as a disguise.
We must not let the right wing agenda of the Republicans, in the GOP or in the Democratic Party, take over America. That’s why reforming the Democratic Party, to shake off the Republican ideology that sucks upon Democratic enthusiasm like a hidden parasite, is so important.
