Democrats left with few issues???

[JailBush]

According to this article, a rapidly improving economy and historic changes to Medicare leave Democrats without issues.

A better theme: Americans - including most Democrats - are too stupid to realize that Democrats own all the issues.

But even that stupidity may be dented if corporations continue to outsource thousands of jobs and word gets out that George Bush is bringing back the draft. True, the draft won't kick in until 2005 - but electing a Democrat would be the best way to nix it.

1. Democratic issues

The failed war

The failed foreign policy

The failed Middle East policy

The mushrooming deficits

Unjust tax policy

Unemployment

Anti-democratic trade policy

Corrupt corporations

The failed energy policy

The neglected environment

The tattered constitution

The mess Bush made with everything his regime touched and the urgent need to clean it all up and restore balance to all nature.

2. washington times sucks

i take whatever its right winged propaganda says with a grain of salt

[George_Bonanza]

3. Is the Washington Post liberal or conservative?

[JailBush]

4. I think both are right-wing.

The Washington Post strikes me as pretty right-wing, and I believe the Washington Times is the paper owned by the Moonies. Verify that with a quick search on Google; it's pretty sobering.

[BurtWorm]

5. You're right. The Times is owned by Moon. The Post is neo-con.

Two right wing rags in the capital. :eyes:

9. IMHO, the Post is more like Tony Blair: neo-liberal. (n/t)

14. ....

Pravda on the Potomac

6. washington post

is left, but not as much as the ny times

[BurtWorm]

7. I wouldn't call it left lately.

It's establishment, which lately is right. Len Downie is no Ben Bradlee.

[Pinko Commie]

8. Large Caps cut losses, small caps rally

The WP is left leaning, but I often see a decidedly conservative bent at times, especially lately. Maybe its just my tendency to view any pro-con opinion as complete crap.

I've found it fun to compare the front pages of the Post and Times on the same day. If you ever want to see conservative bias in the media, try that.

[Eurobabe]

15. huh?

wtf? left leaning? The Unquottable RAG?

20. Welcome to DU.

10. We have one BIG issue, which trumps them all

the war.

Bush is going to pull out in June, though, supposedly, just to take our ammo away. He's going to deliberately fail just so it looks like he was successful.

We're going to be fine. Bush has done plenty of irreversible damage. We won't get back 3 million jobs in less than a year, and nobody is bringing back those dead Americans or the 150B+ we're spending on the war. We have plenty of issues.

And, yes, the draft is our Howitzer. We're going to NAIL him with that one.

[TomNickell]

19. Bigger issue below that....

The real bedrock issue is * competence, rationality, stability.

The war is just the perfect illustration of the absence of all 3.

My perception talking with people is that unease with * is deep, but often not spoken.

11. rapidly improving economy? premature to say the least,

and even at this rate of "improvement", the bush administration will still go down in the history books as a net destroyer of millions of American jobs. is the economy improving for ordinary folks? i don't think so.

[Julien Sorel]

12. Losers worry about issues. Winners create themes.

Not that I expect too many people to understand that.

Y'all keep pounding away on that war. When the country gets sick of it in about 5 years, or when the Iraqis are able to mount a TET-like operation, it might even swing a few votes.

[bluestateguy]

13. Better to get the Medicare bill signed and out of the way now

I'm not so sure a Democratic fillibuster could have delayed it all the way through the election. Too many weak-kneed Democrats. Then * would have been able to have his signing ceremony in September, which would have been worse.

[Spentastic]

17. Is this how far the Democratic party has fallen

Better sucking dick now rather than have Bush cum in your mouth in a years time?

Jesus.

[Eurobabe]

16. It's still LEADERSHIP and ACCOUNTABILITY

stupid!

[DemNoir]

18. It is amazing!

How every problem in America has been solved in the last 48 hours. This is just good managment of the news cycle and nothing more.
