You know, typing these "They Just Never Learn" posts is getting rather old, but Democrats just keep showing a remarkable ability to ceaselessly make the same mistakes that have so plagued them in the past. Now, Democrats in the Senate are holding up the confirmation votes of both Condi Rice and Alberto Gonzales. In more than one post I have discussed the easy to see fact that Americans disapprove of the Democrats' blind obstruction, yet they continue to do it. Only criticizing and opposing will never win an election, and while it may hearten the far left wing of the base, it will turn off all the moderate and conservative voters that Democrats need to bring back to the party to start winning again.
Democrats need a plan, an agenda, that they can take before the American people and say, "This is what we want to do and this is where we want to take the country." The only thing close to any such agenda I've heard lately was Senator Kennedy's call last week for European-style Socialism.
That won't cut it.
Democrats need an agenda that proves that they are A.) strong and resolved to win the War on Terror, B.) tolerant of those who profess a strong belief in God, and C.) intolerant of the politics of personal-destruction that they had previously embraced through Michael Moore and his Hollywood cronies.
If they do these things, and a couple of others, than they will begin to re-attract many of the voters that have gone to the Republicans over the last twenty-five years. As recent actions by the party have shown however, Democrats seem completely unwilling to do this.
