Reply #74: The media is complicit, but they can’t be blamed entirely

for the Dems lack of message. Before Dems can even attempt to cut through the bull they need a voice first, and where that voice is coming from I haven’t got a clue.

It seems to me the Democratic leaders (oxymoron) are willing to stand in the shadows of the Republicans until an “acceptable” issue like filibustering comes along. Thank goodness the party has an opportunity to find it's voice and take a stand on the most important issue facing us today. Election Reform. Huh…you mean no one but Conyers is talking about it…oh…never mind.

I’ve read through this thread and I still can’t tell you what the official party position is on any of the issues Q listed. I shouldn’t have to Google to find answers. I should be able to rattle them off the top of my head so when a person who’s considering voting Democratic for the first time asks me why they should consider switching their vote, I’ll have some solid answers for them.

Wow, I am so tired of that same old “get off your lazy ass and do something instead of bitching and whining” comeback. I got this a lot when I “bitched and whined” about Kerry staying silent throughout the Swift Boat Liars attack. Funny, I spent 2-3 hours a day donating my time and money to the campaign, but no one ever considered that as a possibility. But silly me, I thought everyone had a right to their opinion, even couch potatoes with low post counts.
