"Democrats are NOT a buncha sissies" - MUST READ post from Digby

Great post from Digby at Hullabaloo - one of those long but really invigorating posts about how strong the Democrats really are - definitely worth reading:

Basically, it is assumed that the Party is a big loser because we are a bunch of sissies when in fact, the Democratic party won the last 3 presidential elections and is out of power in the congress by a mere handful of seats. And the fact that we aren't in the oval office today and aren't in control of the Senate is not because we are cowards.

But, there are reasons, and it behooves us to figure out what they really are.

...

Endless criticism of the Party for being too timid is naively playing into their hands. The problem is not the Democratic Party. It is the Republican Party and the media that serves them. This "Democrats are a buncha pussies" meme comes right out of the Mighty Wurlitzer.
