Lest progressives get caught up in what is sure to be, an ongoing "Katrina" all the time, infotainment cycle for the next several weeks or months, we should be using this time to craft a message for the 06 elections that's based on the failures of the " conservative " movement, and how it has hurt this country in every aspect.
The list of those failures is extensive and has touched every American in one way or another. This election should become an indictment of conservative politics and those who practice it.
Every congressional candidate running in 06 should be on message as to what this type of governance has wrought in their own districts and the people who enabled it.They should loudly remind their constituents of those who voted to block stem cell research or tax cuts designed for the rich-that have weakened our country in every aspect-wars of choice, lies and deceptions, and on and on and on. The American people must be asked, "if they've had enough yet ?"
We must be loud and clear about the things liberal & progressive politics that have benefited Americans. We must let the public be reminded of the politics that created the middle class....social security, 40 hour work week , job and food safety,and on and on. We have an admiral track record ! It needs to be said loudly and clearly.
And, this message should be framed in patriotism, because it clearly shines the light on the greedy power drunk gang that have managed to sabatoge our country and it's growth and well being.
