Trumpeting each American death in Iraq is no way to build up the Democratic Party.Failing to have and present their own plan for Iraq is again, no way to build up the Democratic Party.
...And that's the thing; for none of their criticisms against Bush do the Democrats propose their own solution.
Sure, they can criticise and find a bad angle to everything that Bush does, but what solutions do the Democrats offer?
Consider the California recall. Neither Davis nor Bustamante offered a single plan, program, or potential change that they would make if they were in office instead of Schwarzenegger. Without a plan of their own, they both lost to Arnold (who not only proposed a plan, but brought in the best advisory team in decades).
Likewise, the Democrats lost their redistricting battle in Texas because they again failed to present to the public an acceptable plan of their own.
Ditto for the $87 Billion Iraq/Afghanistan funding.
And the same pattern was evident in 2000 as well as in the 2002 mid-term elections.
Democrats have become predictable. Everyone, and I mean everyone, realizes that the Democrats are going to criticise, and no one, and I mean no one, thinks that the Democrats are going to offer their own positive solution.
