Fetal Position
Voters are frustrated with congressional Democrats and they want them to show leadership on this war. They have majorities in both houses of Congress, but they don’t have the votes to over turn the policies of the Bush regime.
Four out of five Democrats think that Hillary Clinton and their representatives in Congress are not fighting to get our troops out of Iraq. They should be taking their argument to the voters, by showing this war is a disaster for the country. They should be going back to their districts and make the case against the war in Iraq, but its not happening. They seem to want to have it both ways. Apparently, the Democratic leadership doesn’t want to alienate middle of the road voters. They seem to be hoping to bring some Republicans on board to expand their majorities in 2008.
The Democratic leadership would be wise to recognize that the Republican party is a much more disciplined political party, and will continue to demonstrate great loyal to its political leaders. This is a reflection of the thinking of the average Republican. They have repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to support the strongest and most hawkish candidate for the presidency.
The Democrats may take the White House next year, because things are so fouled up for the Republicans. However, Democrats could blow it, because they’re being overly cautious and their party is considered a very timid. The present Democratic leadership has failed to show strength and determined leadership.
Our country has followed strong leadership on the left and the right. It followed Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan. Democratic candidates need to show the country what they stand for and that is not happening.
