WHY are our spokespeople apologizing for being DEMOCRATS?
So many Dems that I have seen today have been asked this question: "What is wrong with the Democratic Party?"

And too many of them have answered by mumbling apologies -- we should have done this, we didn't get this message out, we should have done that.

Eff that!!

The answer to the question should be "There is nothing wrong with the Democratic Party. There might be something wrong with some political strategists, but there is nothing wrong with the Party."

STOP blaming political mistakes on Democrats, people!

1. Who the fuck else are we to blame?
The Party IS the strategy. It failed.

2. Maybe, but that doesn't help
I hate that dems do that shit. I will say again what I say until I am blue in the face.... if dems won't stick up for themselves voters won't believe they will stick up for them.

Even if they think and believe that the strategy is failed (and I think it's more messaging than strategy) they should NOT go on TV and say such things. Better to be defiant, kinda like Edwards today.
