Clinton is right. Congressional Dems are dead wrong and looking forward to being just dead.
Congressional Democrats on Thursday declared they would run on their legislative record this fall, rejecting former President Clinton’s advice to counter a new Republican policy agenda with one of their own.
The Democrats’ decision to run on what they have accomplished over the last two years is politically tricky. Polls show that many Americans are skeptical of the two signature items of the 111th Congress: the new healthcare law and President Obama’s stimulus package. ...The Hill
The Dems just kind of hung around and dumped on the Republicans' "pledge." That's fun. But passivity gets you nowhere. Look back at 2006 when the Dems pulled themselves together and won.
Democrats used a “New Direction for America” in 2006 when they recaptured the House and Senate, with slogan-friendly policy proposals such as “Six for ’06.”
They took over Congress. Bush then vetoed some of the proposals, but by then he was pretty much outta there. Now they're giving Congress away to a bunch of dumb thugs.
