Conversely, Democratic thinkers like veteran pollster Stanley B. Greenberg believe Republicans are planting the seeds for a voter backlash by overreaching.

Hang on...how can anyone trust a pollster if he's also a party thinker?

"Thinkers"?? ROFL. See, the problem is no one knows what the Democrats stand for. Don't believe me; believe a liberal! This will help y'all understand where the American people sees our opposition party today:

"The most immediate political danger is that Republicans can portray Democrats as obstructionists, a dangerous label in the "red" Bush states. The larger problem is that the Democrats' inability to sustain attention on their ideas encourages a public sense that they have none. In the latest poll from Democracy Corps, a project of leading Democratic consultants, Republicans held a crushing 30-percentage-point advantage when voters were asked which party knows what it stands for."

Yep - they have no ideas, just tired old playbook rhetoric. Name me one idea the Democrats have that has gotten them favorable attention. All they can do is say NO and twist slowly in the wind.

Ha ha!
And you point out another problem with the Dums, they're shamelessly and narrowly perceived as partisan obstructionists...which they ARE!

The only voter backlash is going to be against the democrats for their "culture of death" - which is NON EXISTANT - with 79% believing it was wrong to with hold water and food from Terri, or any disabled person.

THE DEMS HAVE ALREADY LOST THE ISSUE - AND THEIR PHONEY POLLS DIDN'T HELP THEM - INSTEAD THE PUBLIC IS EVEN MADDER.

I don't know who's advising the dems - but it's horrible advice.
