Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-12 00:00:00 Curtis Gustafson Outdated and broad. There are no real "tactics" here, just a general call to support progressive ideals. The author seems to think that if people just hear about progressive ideals, they'll magically get inspired and overturn conservative influence in DC. At one point he actually writes that progressives don't talk enough about corporate welfare, and that if we just remind people racism still exists, they'll support affirmative action. Oh, and progressives shout give up the fight against partial birth abortion bans and focus on protecting abortion regulations that affect more women. Because that worked out well. This book was written in 2000, and seems hopelessly naive now. Every time the author started ranting about how it's easy to argue for cuts in defense spending because the Cold War is over, or how Clinton-a horrible, no good very bad centrist-would be considered one of our worst presidents if it weren't for his charisma, I thought, "Hoo, boy, does He next decade have some surprises to you." This book maybe have been useful 15 years ago, but not now.
