This is too funny, it screams of Desperation.

WASHINGTON -- Former Massachusetts Governor Michael S. Dukakis, the failed 1988 presidential nominee, recently visited the White House and delivered his strategy for the midterm elections: pound key precincts across the country with the message that Republicans want to implement the same policies that led to the Great Recession.

Dukakis, who said in a telephone interview that he "popped in" to the White House while on a trip here several weeks ago, said he told aides to President Obama that Republicans "want to go back and do exactly what got us in this mess in the first place."

"It seems to me there has to be a single message coming from Democrats, from the president on down," Dukakis said. "We've got to pound that message as hard as can from now until November."

Asked if the White House aides were receptive, he said, "I think they certainly get it." He declined to name the aides he met at the White House.

Dukakis said that it was also important for Democrats to remind voters that former President George W. Bush left the country with an increasing deficit.

Urging Democrats to focus the message through grassroots efforts in key precincts, Dukakis concluded: "If we do that and deliver this message over and over again, we are going to be OK."

Why do you think they are pushing the stem cell issue so hard?
They want to clone FDR.

The problem with the Democrats is that they did alot, but not enough to brag about.
They stopped the economic free fall, so now we're going over the cliff in slow motion.
They implemented some kind of pro-insurance/pharma/provider reform that is little
better than the status quo, but did little to address the rising cost/limited availability
of quality health care.  They kind of got us out of Iraq, but not really.  They might end DADT,
but they haven't yet and we're not sure they will or can.  They almost allowed the Bush
tax cuts for the wealthy to expire, while continuing to cut taxes on the middle class,
but not quite.  They were given (2) SCOTUS vacancies to fill, and filled them with less than
Progressive justices.  They were given the federal govt for (2) years, and they didn't do all
of what they said they would do.  Still, they did alot, and were better than the GOPP
had been or will be.  Will that be enough?  I doubt it.  They should have been tougher.
They should have been more Progressive.  They should have done more.

Your argument that they are not Progressive enough does not hold water. The country has rejected the progressive policies they have implemented. So it makes no sense to say they would be in a better position if they were more Progressive.

Isn't that what all socialists say, That Marxism has never really been done correctly?
At what point is enough, enough? When the poor own all of what the middle class worked all their life for?

Whenever Americans get a real look at liberalism they reject it unanimously...

Let Dukakis talk fellas. If we're lucky then maybe we'll get a picture of Obama on a tank.

I wonder if they told him that they had a tank there for him to sit in?   ::) :P

That just shows you how crazy liberals can be. Why not clone Jenny McCarthy if you can clone somebody?

So throwing people under the bus, wasn't good enough, so now they want to upgrade him to a tank? ;D

Well a bus worked when his poll numbers were north of 70% and the godlike reverb echoed every time he spoke. Now that his poll numbers are getting close to 40% he has a lot more people to run over. So the tread of the tank would be more efficient than those little tires on the bus. I'd hate to see him get stuck. Wouldn't you?
