What we need to do...

assuming "we're" democrats (which, given the disgusting state of the party apparatus, i'm not sure i even wanna lay claim to - nothing personal, howard)...

(thanks, atrios, for tipping me on this excellent first draft, no-punches-pulled screed...)

What Democrats need to stop doing is standing with bowed head as the Republicans whip us senseless with their big brass belt buckle.

What Democrats need to start doing is grabbing that belt, pulling it out of their hands and saying, "Not anymore, Junior. Why don't you explain why you blew a spy's cover? Why don't you explain where all the money our soldiers need went? Why don't you explain why you tortured innocent people? Why don't you explain where Osama bin Laden is? Where is he? Where the bloody hell is he and why isn't he in jail right now watching his gallows being built outside his tiny little window? Huh? Huh? Got an answer for that, you overblown jingoistic piece of useless? Huh?"

What Democrats need to start doing is realizing that there's nothing wrong with them, except that they don't say, quite loudly enough to be heard over the noise machine, what's wrong with their opposition.
