How Democrats Lost In 2002

I just received a note from the Democratic party. It reads:

Democrats have consistently asked Bush the hard questions on Iraq. Democratic lawmakers, led by Tom Daschle and Nancy Pelosi, are speaking up for Americans concerned about the rush to war without the support of our allies and the world. Democrats continue to try and work toward a resolution of the conflict in Iraq and believe the administration must do more to address the national security issues raised by North Korea.

You gutless cowards. You sniveling, shifty, cynical opportunists. I am willing to tolerate plenty of bluster and crypto-fascism from the Republican Party — as long as there’s a strong opposition to keep them in check. Let me refer you to the Senate and House roll calls on Public Law 107-243. You don’t get to vote one way and then walk it back when you find that opinion has changed.

The Democratic Party has no leaders, it has polling numbers. Shame.
