"The Democrats have many mantras and slogans: 'grim milestone,' 'hopeless quagmire,' 'culture of corruption' and 'Karl Rove's dingo ate my baby.' But for a while they've had one big overall slogan, dripping with gusto: 'Together, America Can Do Better.' Not will, or should, or must, but 'can.' It's like saying, 'Together, Frenchmen can win a hot-dog speed eating contest.' Doesn't mean it's going to happen, or that you'd want to watch. But it's typical of modern politics—vague and patriotic, but not so patriotic it would unnerve a Dixie Chick. Together, America Should Be Greater! Together, America Might Go Further! Together, Democrats Can Win Elections! Providing the Republicans stay home."

LOL!
Great job, EL!
And the sad thing is, they don't really believe THAT!
If you think that they do, just listen to how they percieve America...
They don't believe that Americans have sense enough to select their own leaders, or if they do, they don't believe that we have sense enough to count the votes.
They don't believe that we are strong enough Militarit
ly to defeat a bunch of 7th Century Fanatics, who are fighting us by blowing themselves up and attacking us with swords, but yet they believe that we have the power to destroy the World, and that this power will eventually get away from us and do it.
They do not believe in the power of the Individual to improve his or her own station in Life.
They do not believe that America will take the Moral High Road, unless forced to do so by Court Order.
They do not believe that we have sense enough to decide how to spend our own money.
They do not believe that we have sense enough to arrange our own Healthcare.
They do not believe that we have sense enough to understand The Bible.
They do not believe that America can do better.
They believe that America is lost, unless they can assume control of us.
But that slogan would probably turn off the Swing Vote, so they soften it to "America can do better".
Well, we can. And we will.
When Liberals get out of the way and let us.
