Ms. Foster, your taxi is here!

The Democrat moneymen are being dunned by Soros to develop a liberal think tank. The problem I see is that they're positing the existence of "new ideas" that will enhance the appeal of liberalism. If they were capable of comprehending new ideas, they'd be Neocons.

The first thing they need to do, if they want to have a future, is to shut up all their supporters proclaiming that conservatives are pursuing theocracy, that Bush perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, and get real about their fondest myth, that Saddam wasn't a threat to anybody, only having invaded two of his neighbors and gassed his own population.

They need to get serious and quit supporting idiotic, hysterical claims and start figuring out how to reach swing voters. The MSM collapse is accelerating, due to the willingness of prominent newspapers and newspersons to drink their Koolaid. So far, they've been able to create a vague unease with Bush, but he's allowed it by refusing to answer the cheap shots and falsehoods. That won't continue forever, and once it starts to penetrate the public consciousness how brazenly they've been lied to, the jig will be up.

The best thing the right has going is that most of its commentators are reality-based and deal in facts and arguments, not insane rants, while the left is in love with Kos, Huffington, and other models of rational discourse.
