Michael Moore on Republicans and Democrats

In a message intended to rally Democrats around Kerry and exorcise their fears about losing to Bush, Michael Moore had this to say about Republicans:

"Only 30% of the country calls itself 'Republican,' yet the Republicans own it all -- the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and the majority of the governorships. How do you think they've been able to pull that off considering they are a minority? It's because they eat you and me and every other liberal for breakfast and then spend the rest of the day wreaking havoc on the planet."

And this about Democrats:

"If I hear one more person tell me how lousy a candidate Kerry is and how he can't win... Dammit, of COURSE he's a lousy candidate -- he's a Democrat, for heavens sake! That party is so pathetic, they even lose the elections they win!"

Errant grammar, spelling, and punctuation aside, Moore's message hits its target: If Democrats want to win, they have to quit acting like losers.
