As Democrats continue to sort through what went wrong on Election Day and how to remedy it, many have been tempted to blame John Kerry. He was, they say, an unappealing candidate, with an unpersuasive message, surrounded by unthinking strategists (see Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, silence on).
But those who point the finger at the candidate are only prolonging the destructive dance of denial the party has been engaged in since Bill Clinton left office, where we spend most of our post-election energy making excuses and finding scapegoats (see Ralph Nader) instead of confronting the painful reality that too many people are just not buying what we are selling.
We have to remember we nominated Mr. Kerry -- foolishly believing that his war-hero status would miraculously obscure his persistent equivocating on the central issue of the campaign, the war in Iraq. And we have to remember that it was not just Mr. Kerry who failed to unseat a failed president -- this was a wholesale repudiation of national Democrats in much of the country (see Tom Daschle).
If we want to stop this slide into long-term minority status and be competitive in national elections, we must own up to our major electoral weaknesses -- and do something about them.We should start with a blunt assessment of the election results, which revealed that the majority of voters don't trust us on two critical threshold issues of the moment -- security and values. And by all indications they don't trust us largely because we are deeply out of touch with, and at times even contemptuous of, their views.
While Democrats mocked George Bush's simple-minded belligerence, we grossly "misunderestimated" the public's concerns about terrorism -- too often kowtowing to the antiwar wing of the party and complaining about Republican scare tactics. The same could be said of the power of the gay marriage issue (a proxy test for moral values) -- while Mr. Kerry was ducking the issue, his supporters defined him by self-righteously judging opponents to be bigots, without even trying to understand their reservations.
In essence, we've fallen right back into the elitist, weak-kneed, brain-dead trap from which Bill Clinton liberated the party. To escape that box again, and break the Republican's red-state electoral lock, we must adapt to the temperature of the times. That does not mean pandering or selling out our core principles, but rather meeting people where they are and leading them to our side, with resonant arguments and relevant ideas.That's a long-term discussion. But here are four places we could start:
Finding Credibility on Security
This election revealed that the public fundamentally doubts the ability of Democrats to keep the country safe. That's partially a byproduct of a cynically brilliant attack campaign by the Republicans. But we certainly made their job easy by emphasizing summits and diplomacy and showing unease with the use of force. If we hope to win elections in the post-9/11 era, we must change that equation. It's not enough to say we're strong -- Mr. Kerry's damning miscalculation -- we must show we're strong, by putting the muscle back in the muscular internationalism of Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy. Then we can convince people we'll run a smarter war on terror.
Closing the God Gap
The election also confirmed that culture and character are far more important to connecting with voters than policies and programs. And nowhere do Republicans have a bigger advantage here than on religion. Mr. Bush was able to convince more voters that God was on his side because he was speaking in a vacuum -- Mr. Kerry barely talked about religion until the closing days, which helps explain why the Catholic candidate lost the Catholic vote. And when Democrats do touch the subject, too often they are disdainful of the faithful.We must realize that many swing voters won't listen to us on the issues -- let alone share their votes -- if they don't think we share their values. That does not mean we should try to out-pray the competition. It simply means that, as Bill Clinton did, we should show respect for the central role religion plays in the lives of the majority of Americans. And that we should follow the example of Martin Luther King Jr. in harnessing the values of faith to advance progressive causes, from civil rights to environmental protection.
Developing New Solutions
Democrats tried at times in this election to tap into the Clinton mojo, but they mostly forgot one of the central lessons 42 taught us -- ideas matter. Mr. Clinton won over the middle class not just with his centrist rhetoric, but his ideologically transcendent and transformational proposals. Mr. Kerry, by contrast, offered no ideas that made mainstream voters sit up and take notice (like "ending welfare as we know it"), making it easy to pigeonhole him as just another big-spending liberal.We will only outperform the Republicans by out-thinking them again. This is not a matter of left vs. right, but of old vs. new. The ultimate answer is not to offer mushy compromises, but to put forward a bold, label-defying vision and identify equally bold solutions to problems that people really care about, like saving our entitlement programs. If we can't do better than playing Medi-scare, we don't deserve to govern.
Breaking Old Habits
To develop the next generation of new ideas, Democrats have to break out of our stale political grooves. That means choosing new leaders who "get" the problem -- and can articulate a clear, consistent and compelling vision throughout a campaign (indeed, throughout a career), something John Kerry clearly did not do. It means declaring our independence from the sclerotic influence of progress-blocking interest groups like the teachers unions -- and being willing, as Bill Clinton was, to challenge outdated party orthodoxies.And not least of all, it means finally banishing top Kerry guru Bob Shrum and his tone-deaf chardonnay populism, along with the rest of his broken-record peers, from our presidential campaigns for good. Mr. Shrum may be our party's pre-eminent concession speechwriter, but if we can't figure out that a top strategist who goes 0-8 in the Super Bowl is doing something fundamentally wrong, we don't deserve to win.In the end, Democrats have a clear choice. We can keep complaining about Republican tactics and voter stupidity. Or we can work to convince the broad majority again that government can be an effective agent for economic and social progress, and that Democrats can nurture the American Dream while keeping us safe from harm. I know which one I'm voting for.

Why Does the Government Patronize Us?

Why Does the Government Patronize Us?
By Edward C. Prescott
November 11, 2004; Page A16
Radicalism: The conservatism of tomorrow injected into the affairs of today. --Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary."
Of all the economic issues facing Washington these days, one looms larger and larger as more time passes without a solution -- how to fund our Social Security obligations. We often hear that the main problem is our aging demographics or the political games that are played with Social Security funds. While these may be problematic issues, they are only symptomatic of the fundamental predicament: Government has made promises that it can't keep.
...Consumers already know how to invest their money -- why does the government feel the need to patronize them when it comes to Social Security? It would be one thing if the government's Social Security system paid a decent return, but as the President's Commission reported, for a single male worker born in 2000 with average earnings, the real annual return on his currently-scheduled contributions to Social Security will be just 0.86%. And for a worker who earns the maximum amount taxed (then $80,400), the real annual return is a negative 0.72%. A bank would have to offer a pretty fancy toaster to get depositors at those rates of return.
Further, about two dozen countries have reformed their state-run retirement programs, including Chile, Sweden, Australia, Peru, the U.K., Kazakhstan, China, Croatia and Poland. If citizens in these countries can handle individual savings accounts, especially citizens in countries without a history of financial freedom, then U.S. citizens should be equally adept...The benefits of such reform extend beyond the individual retirement accounts of U.S. citizens (although that would be reason enough for reform) -- they also accrue to the economy.
As noted above, national savings will increase, as will participation in the labor force, both to the benefit of society. On the first point, more private assets means there will be more capital, which will have a positive impact on wages, which benefits the working people, especially the young. More capital also means that the economy will have more productive assets, which also contributes to more production.
Regarding labor supply, any system that taxes people when they are young and gives it back when they are old will have a negative impact on labor supply. People will simply work less. Put another way: If people are in control of their own savings, and if their retirement is funded by savings rather than transfers, they will work more. And everyone is better off.
These are the type of win-win situations that politicians and policy makers should be falling over themselves to accomplish.And those policy makers need to get beyond the idea of creating only voluntary savings accounts. Voluntary accounts are not the full answer. There is nothing wrong with making a reasonable level of savings mandatory. Remember that our current Social Security system is mandatory, but as it stands it is a mandatory tax that perpetuates a welfare system.
It doesn't have to be this way. We should separate retirement savings from a system of welfare, and the most efficient way to do that is to turn our mandatory transfer system into a mandatory savings system.Some analysts have suggested that we can't move from a transfer system to a saving system because current retirees will be left in the lurch. Who will pay for them if workers' money is suddenly shifted to individual savings accounts? There will indeed be a period of time, likely no more than 10 years, when narrowly defined government debt relative to gross national income would increase before decreasing. But government debt is small relative to the present value of the Social Security promises that currently exist.
Further, the sum of the value of government debt and the value of these promises will start declining immediately.Under a reformed system there will always be some individuals who, owing to disabilities or other reasons that prevent them from working, will not have sufficient savings in their old age. The solution is to include a means-tested supplement to ensure that those citizens receive a required payment -- just like they receive today. Nobody gets left behind under this new system, and most will move ahead. U.S. citizens deserve more than a minimum payment, and the U.S. economy deserves more than to have its savings, capital and labor weighed down by an increasingly costly tax-and-transfer system.
So how would such a reformed system work? Here's a proposal: Have three-quarters of employer and employee Social Security contributions (currently 12.4% of wages, salaries and proprietors' income up to $87,900) put into an individual savings account. This would be deferred income with taxes paid when people receive their retirement benefits.
The other one-quarter of Social Security contributions would finance welfare and increase the labor supply, resulting in higher output and an increase in tax revenues.Reforming Social Security into a system of mandatory individual savings accounts is not as radical as it sounds. The world is moving in this direction, and here in the U.S. our citizens have been dealing with individual accounts for many years through their employers -- and some of these are mandatory. As Ambrose Bierce's definition of radicalism suggests, someday we will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about.

"Study after study finds that kids who eat dinner with their families regularly are better students, healthier people and less likely to smoke, drink or use drugs than those who don't. A University of Michigan study of children ages 3 through 12, for example, found that more meal time with the family was the single strongest predictor of better achievement scores and fewer behavioral problems -- even better than time spent studying or in church...Sixty-one percent of youths ages 12 through 17 said they ate dinner with their families at least five nights a week in 2003, up from 47% in 1998, according to a recent study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, which has researched the importance of family dinners in preventing teen drug and alcohol use."

The South Has Risen, Again!
Video of Carole Simpson of ABC News from a post-election panel, which was televised on C-Span.
"I got a little map here of pre-Civil War free versus slave states. I wish you could see it in color and large. But if you look at it, the red states are all done in the South, and you have the Nebraska territories, the New Mexico territories and the Kansas territories, but the Pacific Northwest and California were not slave states. The Northeast was not. It looks like the map of 2004, and when you say, "Let's let the states decide," I remember what the states decided when they had slavery. I think they're going quickly after social programs, despite what he says. I think we're going to get a rollback on all kind of things. Affirmative action is a bad word; liberal is a bad word; gay is a bad word, diversity. All these words that are perfectly fine words now are these touchstones, these trigger points, and that frightens me."

The battle for Fallujah is raging, and we all hope for a rapid victory by the U.S. and Iraqi forces trying to root out the terrorists holding the city. Meanwhile, interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has replied to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's letter objecting to coalition efforts in Fallujah. We reported on Monday that Mr. Annan had warned last week that a coalition offensive might increase violence and disrupt the elections. Missing from his high-minded prose were such words as "terrorist," "kidnapping" and "beheading." Now comes Mr. Allawi's pointed reply: "At the moment, we have parts of the country in which the civilian population has been hijacked by the terrorists and insurgents. That is unacceptable. Worse still is that the terrorists and insurgents operating from places like Fallujah are exporting their violence to other parts of the country, terrorizing and killing innocent Iraqis and those seeking to protect them. I cannot allow these terrorists to continue to murder with impunity. "I was a little surprised by the lack of any mention in your letter of the atrocities which these groups have committed. I believe that the blame for the violence and difficulties in Iraq at the moment should be laid squarely at their door. The same group who murdered so many of your staff in the bombing of the U.N. headquarters last year, has since murdered hundreds of innocent Iraqis and committed countless other atrocities. We have overwhelming evidence that they have used and continue to use Fallujah as a base of operations."

The same group who murdered so many of your staff in the bombing of the U.N. headquarters last year, has since murdered hundreds of innocent Iraqis and committed countless other atrocities. We have overwhelming evidence that they have used and continue to use Fallujah as a base of operations."

EARTH on PEACE & Peace On Earth
Ever since the Fall, the world has longed to restore peace on Earth. Unfortunately, history testifies that most of our efforts to bring peace have backfired and compounded suffering. In this “present evil age,” we are tempted to ask if God’s efforts have backfired as well. We dare say they have not. Here’s why.

"One week after suffering devastating losses in the House and Senate, Democratic campaign committees in both chambers find themselves mired in debt. Late in the campaign, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee took out a $10 million line of credit -- the largest ever by a party committee at the conclusion of an election cycle ... [and] the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee took out a $5 million line of credit to finance its final campaign push" -- Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call.

"Television commentators Walter Cronkite, Bill Moyers,Andy Rooney or Ted Koppel have morphed from their once sober and judicious personas into highly partisan figures that now carry political weight among most Americans only to the degree that they harm any cause or candidate with whom they are associated. Readers do not just disagree with spirited columns by a Molly Ivins, Paul Krugman or Maureen Dowd, but rather are turned off when they revert to hysterics and condescension."

Terrorists depend on the cooperation of the media. It's time to stop providing it.
by Mark Bowden
"...terrorists use sensationalism to vastly amplify their message. They know that horror and drama capture the media's attention, so they manufacture them. This is why...they cut off their heads on camera and broadcast the videos. When that gets old...they will come up with something even more awful...The beheadings led the news in so many places strictly because they were so terrible and because they were on videotape, a medium that so vividly conveys the horror. They led because the cold men behind them wanted them to. I think we should consider the consequences of continually giving those men their way. "

It concludes w/ this warning: "Before the Kean Commission's recommendations are implemented, and a vastly expensive and disruptive scheme is undertaken to overhaul an Intelligence Community weaker today than on 11 September 2001, it is worth reviewing the testimonies and documents the commissioners and the other 11 September panels have in hand, and reassessing where primary responsibility lies. Is it really small budgets, poor organization, and legal hurdles that stopped the Community from dealing with Bin Laden to the best of its ability? Or is it the results of decisions by human beings who refuse to do either what is in their power and patently necessary, or that which is asked for by their elected chiefs in Congress and the Executive..."

Having watched Israel's democracy flourish next door and seeing events in Iraq and Afghanistan, some brave Palestinians may see this as the time to come forward. Arafat's death will at least make that possible."

For 25 years, U2 have been through personal loss, drugs, alcohol, and rows on a titanic scale, even by the standards of the rock business. And yet they are still together. In a rare interview, Bono and the rest of Ireland's awesome foursome reveal how their closeness has enabled them to survive

U2's "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" Leaks
Late Friday night, U2's eagerly anticipated new album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" leaked onto the internet to the dismay of its record company who had thus far orchestrated a very tight preview schedule for journalists worldwide. No word yet on what label bosses plan to do about the leak, or if this will bring the album forward from its original Nov 22nd world release date and Nov 23 domestic release date. When the "Atomic Bomb" went missing in France this summer, Bono was quick to state that a leak would bring the album forward on iTunes immediately. Given the band's recently announced partership with Apple, this possibility could not be far off. Early fan reaction was overjoyed, ecstatic, and in the words of one poster, "U2 have done it, people. This is amazing. I can't contain myself."Stay tuned for fan reviews!

Bank One Lures in Nortel's Global PR Director For VP Job
PR Week (US)
By ANDREW GORDON
WILMINGTON, DE: David Chamberlin has left Nortel Networks, where he was director of global communications, to join Bank One as VP of PR in its card-services division.
Bank One is one of the largest global issuers of Visa cards, and Chamberlin explained that he took the job not just to work with Bank One, but also the numerous companies that create cobranded Visa cards with Bank One.
'This will give me the chance to work with some of the best brands in the world,' said Chamberlin, who worked for Burson-Marsteller before joining Nortel. 'I'll be creating strategic PR campaigns for Bank One and its partners.'
Amazon.com, United Airlines, and Ann Taylor are among more than 1,200 companies that cobrand Bank One credit cards for its 53 million cardholders.
David Webster, SVP of business affairs for card services, said one of the first campaigns Chamberlin will work on is the new cobranded Disney card. 'We are also engaged in a brand-building effort to make Bank One one of America's value brands,' said Webster. 'David brings the values that will help us do that.'
Nortel director of corporate communications Tina Warren will take over many of Chamberlin's duties in the interim, though no decision has been made as to whether his position will be filled, Chamberlin said.
