And along comes Martin Frost, a long time democrat player.  Who, guess what?  Is saying what republicans and conservatives have been saying for 5 years. 

Democrats, you are not connecting with the average voter!

Now I know he shapes the debate in terms of the middle class (that is people making $30k - $75k), but isn't the middle class the 'average' american?

And you are getting stomped.  Worse than that, you are targetting a diminishing demographic.  You despise the rich, and preach to the poor.  But the ugly fact is that as we lift the poor out of their lower class into the middle class, you are losing them!

Why?  Because your message is not positive.  It is one of hate and doom and gloom.  Unless and until you figure out that people dont want to hear your negatavism, you are going to lose more and more of them.

Why?  Because most people are not stupid.  You can call them victims for only so long before they realize that the only victims are the ones that vote for your failed policies.

Will you listen this time?  Doubtful.  You dont listen period.  Perfect people dont listen to the rest of humanity.  Why should they?  They know everything already.
