The Dems are in a very difficult situation. They are a "big tent" party with a variety of opinions fighting for attention. As they don't have any real leadership positions, there isn't a single message to focus on.
This is a good and bad thing. With the variety of voices you get more options, but it's difficult for the general public to process.
The GOP is completely united around a single theme, kill them before they kill us.
Unfortunately that's where the thought process stops, which is why we have so many problems today in Iraq and in the "war on terror" in general.
The answer isn't in liberalisim alone, it's in Democracy...which requires the free exchange of ideas and ultimately cooperation and compramise to function.
Today, with the GOP attempting to monopolize our system through
fear we have none of this...in fact it's demonized as "unpatriotic".
History will show this to be perhaps the most "anti-democratic" administration in modern US history...and we're all going to pay the price.
