I read someplace recently that Hamas, the orgainization in the Palestinian territories is universally beloved not because they lob suicide bombers at Israeli's but because they are the largest aid organization in the West Bank.
The analogy is unfortunate here, there's no way I'm saying the Democratic Party should be equated with Hamas. What I'm thinking is that John Kerry said that religion devoid of works is not true faith...that deeds have to accompany words....this might be a way to start showing our true colors to the people of this country.
What if organizations allied with the Democrats started openly wearing the Demoratic Party label? Disaster aid workers, soup kitchen operators....I don't know what it would take. But if the people in the fly over states (and how literal that became in this election!) don't trust what we say, maybe they would trust what we do.
Just a thought.....
