Maybe it's time for Democrats to return to yesteryear

Remember Al Gore. Remember when what he said made perfect sense. Remember when the Democrats basically deserted Al after the Florida (win? defeat?) as a loser, eventually rallying around that undefeatable candidate from Massachusetts.

What about Al? Thank you to Patty for finding this for me:

The essential cruelty of Bush's game is that he takes an astonishingly selfish and greedy collection of economic and political proposals, and then cloaks them with a phony moral authority, thus misleading many Americans who have a deep and genuine desire to do good in the world. And in the process he convinces them to lend unquestioning support for proposals that actually hurt their families and their communities. Truly, President Bush has stolen the symbolism and body language of religion and used it to disguise the most radical effort in American history to take what rightfully belongs to the American people, and give as much of it as possible to the already wealthy and privileged.
