Stupidity Watch
Here's just a minor example of what's wrong with triangulation Democrats:
Mark Warner (D) told Iowans that Democrats "have taken the wrong approach in arguing against tax cuts enacted under President Bush, singling out former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's campaign as a reason the message did not resonate in 2004," the Des Moines Register reports.

"In order to appeal to more voters, the party ought to avoid alienating wealthier Americans."

Said Warner: "Even though the Bush tax cuts only applied to the top 2 percent of Americans, what I think the Kerry campaign missed was that the other 98 percent of Americans still aspired to get to the point in their life where they could qualify for the tax cuts."
Do they ever learn?

Here is yet another Democrat who 1) is criticizing other Democrats (in this case, the immediate past leader of the party!) and 2) who is talking about how to "get votes" rather than standing for anything! And I'm not even addressing his point, which I happen to think is idiocy.

Note to Warner: You need to stand for something rather than explain to voters how you plan to manipulate them into voting for you.
