Hey Democrats, you suck.
We know the Democratic Party is nog ood at selling itself and, as a whole is pretty spineless and easily cowed by the GOP. I believe in compromise and consensus but I also believe in keeping your eyes open and understanding when "compromise" is just another word for "I totally fucked you, your wife, and your high school girlfriend." Anyway, I think it will be hilarious if in the 2008 Presidential election the candidate who really speaks out against the Iraq debacle goes to the White House, and it turns out to be Republican Chuck Hagel. That would be hilarious. Because lord knows all the "serious" Democrats won't do it. Because they're scared of big scary Bush and his big scary 36% approval rating.
Oh Howard, where are you when I need you?

What do you mean by not speaking out against it? Biden, Kennedy, Schumer, et al, etc. have been speaking out against the war for going on three years.
Then again, I seriously doubt that any of them is going to be the Dem nom or will even be in hailing distance. I'm not even sure about Hillary. I think the party's going to look South/West in 2008 to Tennesee's Bresden, or Montana's governor, or New Mexico's.
Well, Biden was "pro-war" but he's been a huge critic of late. I guess replace Biden with Leahy or the Illinois Guy whose name escapes me.
I guess I'm just imagining a replay of 2004, where we got HoHo and Kucinich speaking out against the Iraq War and everyone else solemnly supporting it. Which is only fair, since they all voted for it. Nixon, China and all that. Dems are still convinced everyone will think they're pussies if they speak out against the war, even though the fact that they never speak up on anything is probably largely why everyone thinks they're pussies.
