The point is this is nothing new. The Left has always been short of people who can communicate in plain, accessible language, instead of jargon-ridden gobbledygook. Of course there have been exceptions, but unless the Left find themselves another Orwell or Priestley, they are always going to be out-argued by right-wingers, in the blogosphere as everywhere else. The fact that they're just plain wrong most of the time won't help them either, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-41087383448911675402008-12-19T10:44:00.000+00:002008-12-19T10:44:00.000+00:00Simple solution for Draper.
