1. It's the media "fallback meme"--to drag the Democrats down with the Republicans.

If I were trying to weaken the progressive movement, I'd definitely keep telling them their leaders have failed them.

2. So let me get this straight--you think Democrats in Congress have been doing a "heckuva job"

As someone who's watched in frustration as the Democrats trumpet and bray their opposition but collapse like cheap cardboard cutouts in the face of any notion that they are somehow "Not Supporting the Troops" or "Not doing what is necessary to protect Americans" I think that Richardson is spot on here.

Also, I think you need to check your candidate playbook, Richardson is a Democratic presidential candidate-he is also, unfortunately, right.
