Should the Democrats take on a Populist-Labor agenda?

I think the Democrats to adopt a Populist-Labor agenda. We need to be talking about how the Republicans are selling jobs overseas with things like CAFTA and an increase in the minimum wage. Definately talk about universal healthcare and alternative energy sources. When you start talking about the population's well-being and economics, I think you can get people to listen.

Like the Non Partisan League in ND for example, then no...those are losers on a national level. If you are simply talking about addressing economic issues in a more forthright way then yes definitely.

of the population. What a novel idea.

Now if only the MSM and the voting machines would cooperate...

It's time SOMEBODY started representing the majority of people in this country--58% of whom opposed the Iraq war, in Feb. '03 (BEFORE the invasion), and who now oppose it by over 70%; 63% of whom oppose torture "under any circumstances" (May '04)--and whose views, altogether, show huge disagreement with every major Bush policy, foreign and domestic, way up in the 60% to 70% range, in a wide range of polls for at least two years.

We are paying for war and torture, and tax cuts for the rich, and a huge deficit, and assaults on our civil rights, and the outsourcing of jobs, and gouging at the gas pump, and de-regulation of global corporate predators, and the installation of expensive, hackable election theft machines--WITHOUT REPRESENTATION THAT IS EVEN CLOSE TO OUR NUMBERS.

That's what the first American Revolution was all about, as I recall.

Throw Diebold and ES&S election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!

these unruly bunch need regulations and heavy penaltys. And if you really want to see them squirm revoke a few corporate charters.

How do you think the entities - legal persons known a corporations have become the dominant institution in the last 150 years!

May I point out that Democrats had that choice in the '04 primaries and passed it by?

that Democrats reject all corporate contributions . . . since that ain't gonna happen, any Populist-Labor agenda will necessarily be severely compromised . . . probably to the point of irrelevance . . .
