I like what I see out of top Democrats lately. It seems like they're being a little fiestier than they've been in the past. Perhaps they learned something about being the opposition party. Among the good actions recently:
- Barbara Boxer standing up against 99 other Senators to support an investigation into election abnormalities in Ohio
- Barbara Boxer and John Kerry holding Condi Rice accountable for the Bush Administration's reprehensible foreign policy, and voting against her
- Hillary Clinton making sensible noises on finding common ground with abortion opponents
- Harry Reid's performance so far as Minority Leader, including introducing 10 bills as the Democratic Agenda for the 109th Congress, symbolic as it may be
But this can only be a stopgap. We have about a year and a half to recruit, fund, and elect Democrats to reclaim Congress. |
If you read my blog, you will see I am no fan of the Democratic Party. Being in California, I can say without reservation that Senator Boxer is a lame bloviator of innane rhetoric! I agree for the most part on the rest of your post, though. I look forward to visiting more often...
