Democratic "Disarray" - Part 3 (WaPo goes after Democrats)

http://www.presstitutes.com/presstitutes/2005/12/democratic_disa_1.html

We've been tracking the latest incarnation of the media's favorite meme: Democrats=muddled and weak, Bush=resolute and strong. It's the iron-clad principle of Pre$$titution: 'Bush may be down, but Democrats are worse.'

So has the WaPo signed on to this new push? You be the judge...

Friday, December 2: Democratic Lawmakers Splinter on Iraq

Monday, December 5: Democrats Find Iraq Alternative Is Elusive

Wednesday, December 7: Democrats Fear Backlash at Polls for Antiwar Remarks

(for good Pre$$titutional measure, Wednesday's article is juxtaposed on the Post's homepage with this puff piece: "Cheney Urges Steadfast Approach to Iraq")

For those who argue that Democratic differences are newsworthy, we counter that Republican unanimity is more notable, if only for the fact that it's emblematic of a party operating without a conscience. As we wrote previously, "What the press conveniently overlooks in their zeal to take down Democrats is that there is nothing inherently wrong with members of a political party holding different views on a matter as serious as war. At least it shows that some soul-searching and thought has gone into the various positions, whereas the near lockstep hawkishness of Republicans betrays a crass political motivation for their stance on Iraq."

ideas." Am I right?

Somehow it's the Democrats job to come up with how to get out of those messes? Pardon me. This is what "mandate" is all about...one party rule. Democrats not only have no power, but no need or reason to come up with the solutions. Let the Repugnicans dig themselves deeper and deeper in their own lies, hypocricies and coruption.

The Repugnicans NEVER came up with a plan about Vietnam until just before the 1968 elections...and even then Nixon was never specific. It took the bastard another 5 years to put that "plan" in action...and by then another 20,000 died needlessly.

Next year the Congressional elections will be a mandate on the Repugnican party, but it will be done on a very local basis. There will be 435 house races...each one will be a referendum on a combination of the boooosh regime hubris and corruption and the specific congressman's role in creating that mess. That's where the Democrats should focus.

If the corporate media wants to find out how Democrats will end this mess...then they should be actively supporting that Democratic candidates win next year. Of course that's their big fear.

Cheers...

"we can't win in Iraq" remarks (he even went so low as to compare it to the Dean scream), I'd say there is probably some truth to these articles.

"By now everybody knows that former Senator Bob Kerrey led a seven-member team of Navy Seals into Thanh Phong village in February 1969, and murdered in cold blood more than a dozen women and children."
