hey, can anyone tell me why the democrats are being such pansies? where's the leadership? where are the ideas? it's not enough to complain about bush and his cronies, not enough to argue against his ideas and plans. have your own ideas, have your own plans. someone needs to step up and give us an alternative to believe, not some half-baked 'at least i'm not george bush' mushiness. why did kerry lose? because he didn't stand for anything. the american people wanted someone who meant something, and bush, for better or worse, means something.
please, democrats: grow a spine and take a leadership position. give us ideas, give us beliefs, give us a plan for the future. don't just counter everything bush says, say something better. i don't care if the american people don't like your ideas, i don't care if what you say won't win you votes. have ideas, say something. that, alone, will give you legitimacy, will win you attention and support. the present spineless blob called the democratic party is a travesty.
the true undermining of democracy is the ineffectiveness of an opposition party to show any true opposition. it's not just that the republicans are subverting the election system, it's that they've pushed the debate to that fact, rather than the qualitative reasons for why people aren't voting democrat. they've stolen the focus on ideas, they decide what gets discussed and argued about. the democrats are just responding, being reactive. they need to be proactive or they stand for nothing.
