Why the "Party of Responsibility" is brilliant against the Bush Admin?

[Pirate Smile]

On Wednesday, Howard Dean said

"There is a Party of fiscal responsibility... economic responsibility.... social responsibility... civic responsibility... personal responsibility... and moral responsibility.
It's the Democratic Party.

We need to be able to say strongly, firmly, and proudly what we believe.

Because we are what we believe."

One reason this framing of the issue would be extremely effective for the Democratic Party is because BushCo. has made a conscious decision to never admit a mistake, i.e. take responsibility.

According to Jay Dickerson (WH correspondent) on Al Franken today, BushCo. would rather be viewed as stubborn then deal with the follow up questions to admitting a mistake.

There are so many screw-ups that they simply refuse to admit, thereby denying reality, that they look like they are living in an alternative universe.

I really think we can use this to our advantage if we make it part of our mantra, our talking points. It could also be applied to any new issues that come up - there is no limit on its shelf life.

What do you guys think?
