people are also not remembering that time either. it was less than a year after 9/11 the u.s. was pretty raw. it was even being said that bush was using 9/11 to manipulate this vote, and it was also said out loud the dems during that raise were just trying to make it thru the election. everything was strongly pro bush, pro repugs. dems were doing all they could to not lose more
what good would it have done for the dems to have taken a stand at that time, and not be elected for position. i feel, that we have to understand what it was in 2002, the dire straight dems were in. some point finger and say they should have had balls. well balls were gonna get them kicked out. adn the bottom line, to have lost even more dems would not have done any of us any good.
the democrats i feel were doing the best they could in the climate they were in
then dean came on the radar. and he was one courages soul that critized bush and said he was wrong. and he took a lot of flack for it, but he opened things up so americans could say out loud, yuk bush. we were all unamerican, unpatriotic, non christians, terrorists, if anyone spoke out against bush
now is a different time. sometimes, one has to go with the flow to win, and go for the jugular when the time comes
