And then immediately Say "9/11 Investigations are off the table!"
WTF!
I'll always remember that. The problem is that some Dems keep thinking that if they play
nice when they are in charge, the Republicans will be honest brokers or have some minimal sense of honor and fair play when its on the other foot. I remember when Democrats had the house and Senate the word of the day was "bipartisan". Hows that working out.
Its ironic that it seems to be the ones constantly put in leadership positions. This isn't a knock, just facts; Donna Brazille, on 1984 Jesse Jackson team. loss. On 1988 Dukakis team, creates scandal, has to resign. Dukakis.. loss. Next up, Gore, Donna Brazille again wtf, campaign manager. Loses to GWB... unreal... THEN, replaces DWS at DNC? Donna Brazille again wtf.... and on and on... numerous examples, numerous Democrats. The best leaders, as far as actual results seem to be neutered or removed. Had Howard Dean remained head of the DNC with the 50 state strategy I seriously doubt so many house seats, senate seats, and Governorship would be lost. I'm not a Bernie Sanders fan, but I thought it was completely insane when DWS recently stated in response to critique that the Democratic party was not a grassroots party (I disagree), that proof of the party being grassroots was stopping the Obamacare repeal through activism and calling state Senators. Really?? Democrats had/have absolutely no say in the repeal, none. The only reason it was defeated was due to it being not draconian enough. Is that the person who's been leading the DNC the last few cyles?? That oblivious?? WTF!
Democrats know how to actually govern, Republicans know how to campaign and use power and every advantage. They know how to unite and provide one single message. They know how to take one single irreverent semantic issue and win on it; 1. Dukakis in a tank. 2. Al Gore is boring and "said he invented the internet" 3. Swift boats and "flip flop"
4. Emails!
But some of the dems in power? "9/11 investigations are off the table!"
Harold Dean, James Carville, Rahm Emmanuel, Hillary (and thats why they were sooo afraid of her. Hillary played nice, but she was a hard as anybody and didn't take a whole lot of bs, nor suffer fools. She had to play nice this go-round tho, less she offend) they were/are real fighters and partisans. If nothing else the Dems need/ed more Rabid partisans. Every Republican is a rabid partisan. The entire lot.
