If Democrats are to win again...

Truthfully, if Democrats are to win again in the next election, or any future elections, they are going to have to "dumb" themselves down, so that they can connect with the dumb-downed America that exists today. I'm not saying that all Americans are dumb, because that's not true. But, there seems to be a growing "base" of people that participate in "groupthink", and cannot or will not think for themselves. They have to be told what to do (and whom to vote for) by their religious and moral leaders. That is what is scary. We claim to be bringing democracy to Iraq, when our own democracy is being slowly eroded by this new upcoming wave of fundamentalism. Maybe someday, we'll have to be "invaded" by another country to re-install democracy again. I consider myself a Christian, but these "Christians" that voted for Bush (some of them), are very different than the "thinking" Christians that I have known and grown up with.
