Pick an issue... any issue...
I know some of my readers are Democrats. So I will try to bring this topic up in a way that will not anger or alienate anyone.
But c'mon now... is this Dean guy for real? This is a quote I found today while catching up on the news:
''I've been called worse things than a liberal,'' Dean said. ''The reason the Republicans call names is because they have nothing to say about balancing the budget, creating jobs or doing anything about health care or education.''
Now... how can you say that and claim any credibility? Whether you like their stances or not, its not hard to figure out where the Republicans stand on most issues.
They passed a prescription drug benefit, they have created millions of jobs over the past couple of years, they have lowered taxes, passed the No Child Left Behind Act... I could go on. Again, whether you like their stances or not, they do have them. They believe in low taxes, (some of them) want reduced spending, they believe in teacher/school accountability, they believe in using the armed forces to promote Democracy, they believe in the right to bear arms, they're pro-life, they are against gay marriage...
What in the hell do the Democrats have to say on any one of these issues? Pick one, any one, and give me a coherent and solid stance on it.
The war... are they for it? Against it? For the troops but not for the war... they're for the war before the war, against it during and then for it afterwards?
Gay marriage... some are for it, some against it, some think its a states rights issue, some are for gay "unions".
Creating jobs... um... uh....
I have some advice for Howard Dean and the Democrats in this country. Quit being the "NO" party, and come up with something that can be debated. Come up with a plan to create jobs, deal with WMDs in the world, balance the budget...
Something other than just raising taxes and opposing every single thing the Republicans stand for. Maybe some day I would vote Democrat... if I could ever decipher their position on any particular issue facing the world today.
Wait... no I wouldnt.... but it would be nice if they had something that could be debated...
