They are FOR a socialist nanny state and are against anything that the President proposes or does. They just can't get over not being in power. It is a pitiful sight to see.
On almost every major question in Washington today, the choice isn't whether to move in a Republican or Democratic direction, but how far in a Republican direction to move.
This is the grim reality of political life for Democrats at a time when the GOP controls the White House and both chambers of Congress.
There's NO reason to be afraid of the Democrats any more. They can no longer set the agenda, even with an assist from their erstwhile media friends. Let's learn to revel in power to change the country. Conservatives need to charge just like Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders' did on San Juan Hill. Victory is ours if we dare to seize it!
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
The "they haven't had a chance to explain what they are about" schtick is so tiresome. Remember John Kerry needing to "introduce himself to voters" after months of fawning media coverage? I think the voters do know the Democrats. I guess the message from voters to the party is "we're just not that into you." And in cases like Terri Schiavo, I think the more voters get to know what the Democrats do (or don't) stand for, the better for Republicans and conservatives. This "they haven't had the opportunity to explain" complaint is the offshoot, I think, of that arrogant tendency to assume that the intelligent people are Democrats and liberals. If we aren't for the liberals/Democrats, we're either uninformed or dumb (or knuckle draggers, or rednecks, or bigoted religious zealots, or whatever).
