The Bush Administration has cut the budget for VA Hospitals and at the same time they are building hospitals for the Iraqi People. Veterans are very unhappy about this.<br /> Now is the time for Democrats to prove that we are the party that cares about our brave soldiers by restoring the veterans benefits that Bush and the Republicans have eliminated for American Soldiers and given to the Iraqis. http://my.democrats.org/page/community/post/tommyrandle/C3RC http://my.democrats.org/page/community/post/tommyrandle/C3RC/commentary#comments Sun, 24 Dec 2006 10:55:48 EST http://my.democrats.org/page/community/post/tommyrandle/C3RC Godfather Godfather 0 http://my.democrats.org/page/community/comment_rss/C3RC/ Governor Dean is the major reason why the Democrats did so well in the 2006 elections. Governor Dean implemented a strategy that I suggested in 1994. The Democrats can not win a majority in Congress with a limited strategy, we have to have an American strategy. We might not be able to compete in every district but we can and must compete in every state. Many Republicans are still in office because they were never challenged effectively. Before Governor Dean took the helms of the DNC many of us were disappointed with the leadership. They were afraid to compete, they wanted to be and ran as Republican lite and they lost. When Democrats as well as Republicans and pundits say that Democrats ran as conservatives you should be able to explain to them that you can not be more conservative than George Allen, Curt Weldon, Conrad Bain and Rick Santorum just to name a few. No, the Democrats did not win because they ran as conservatives they won because they ran as Democrats. To my dismay, I have not heard a Democratic Strategist on television articulate this point so far. This tells us that more changes are still needed in the DNC.
