Democratic leaders are falling into their old uninspiring pattern

apropos of the previous post, robert parry of consortium news has this observation...
Election 2006 -- and voter dissatisfaction with the Republicans -- offer hope for the Democrats to reclaim one or both houses of Congress. But Democratic leaders have shown little understanding of the potential for a powerful national message that targets George W. Bush's trampling of constitutional principles that Americans hold dear, not to mention his use of fear and deception to stampede the public into a disastrous war in Iraq.

Instead Democratic leaders are falling into their old uninspiring pattern of passivity, triangulation and check-list issues aimed at disparate interest groups.
