Pretty much all true, Frank:

So, what are the Democrats going to do about it? Protesting is definitely an important responsibility. But, there needs to be a clearly defined, positive alternative. I don't belief in fear-mongering, as the Republicans have used so successfully. (I also don't think considering anyone who didn't vote Democarat to be "an uneducated pinhead" (not your statement) an attractive way to increase the Democratic base.

Maybe it's time to vote for something, rather than against.

Wouldn't that be refreshing?
