Yeah the republicans have definitely benefited from and probably actively encouraged racial division. Sometimes I wonder who all would be involved in something like that even if unknowingly. It would almost seem like there would have to be agitators in all camps and that strikes me as tinfoilish. Bah now I am rambling.

The question is how do we communicate our message and what issues do we emphasize. I think the following issues would resonate w/ the majority of the masses.

1. Homeland Defense-I despise the name of HS but I think this is an important topic. Kerry touched on it briefly in one debate w/ port security but otherwise nothing springs to mind. Democrats are perceived as weak on Defense issues. This would help change it and ameliorate our stance on

2. Iraq-There needs to be a lot more focus on this but we need to be subtle about it. Well the politicians anyway. Not sure of the best approach but at the very least we need to be gathering every bit of info we can get.

3. Big business and politics and the corruption and greed that occurs there. Thats a complete pipe dream but hey...

In all likelihood the party will cozy up to munitions manufacturers, tobacco firms, and pharmaceutical companies AND ignore any racial issues.
