  1. Benson,

    Donatella;

    This is the societal group from whence I came…

    Me too, darling. I am describing the thesis of Rick Perlstein in Nixonland and if you are looking for a fight from me, I don’t know where it is. I didn’t say anything about racism. I thought you were having a bad day and going to take two aspirins and put a damp rag over your forehead.

  2. Soooooo….

    We need something witty as a theme for our party. Where is Arkady? Help! Anyone got a great original statement that is appropos of…well…nothing! Ha!

  3. “More like the outraged, working class, enraged hard hats, who used to belong quite happily in the family of New Deal Democrats. ”

    Donatella;

    This is the societal group from whence I came. Why did I and many others like me leave? Well, just take a look at the characterization of the tea-partiers above, including your own. Advising folks that they are latent racists, and ignoramuses who don’t know where their true interests lie is not a winning formula.

    As a person in sales, I am astounded at how folks think these arguments will win the day. I’ve never made a sale by putting down my competitor. I win the day
    by convincing them of the merits of my product, or argument, as the case may be.
