When the Democrats start learning how to win in politics, then it will be time to stop the infighting.
There is a common phrase in policing that goes, "good luck is not good tactics." Over the last couple of years, the Democrats have been betting on good luck, rather than building a stronger party. And our good fortune has little to do with good tactics and instead has relied upon the screw ups of the Republicans.
For example, no one will ever persuade me that the Democrats in Congress voted for Bush's war resolution other than out of facing the fear of what happened to Max Cleland and voted so in hopes the same would not happen to them too. Talk about the lack of integrity and spine!
Every single Democrat should have voted against Bush's resolution and here is why: I am a well read liberal Democrat who knew every word out of Bush's mouth was a goddamned lie. And if I knew that, then why the hell didn't our Democratic representatives?
So, until the Democrats in Washington reach down and grab that spine and remember they are supposed to represent the people, then they deserve all the hell we can give them.
Forget this "divide and conquer" crap. When the Democrats start representing the people, then they will never have to worry about being a minority again.
