Could they be more pathetic?

Democrats Struggle To Seize Opportunity;
Amid GOP Troubles, No Unified Message

News about GOP political corruption, inept hurricane response and chaos in Iraq has lifted Democrats’ hopes of winning control of Congress this fall. But seizing the opportunity has not been easy, as they found when they tried to unveil an agenda of their own.

Democratic leaders had set a goal of issuing their legislative manifesto by November 2005 to give voters a full year to digest their proposals. But some Democrats protested that the release date was too early, so they put it off until January. The new date slipped twice again, and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) says the document will be unveiled in “a matter of weeks.”

Some Democrats fear that the hesitant handling is symbolic of larger problems facing the party in trying to seize control of the House and Senate after more than a decade of almost unbroken minority status. Lawmakers and strategists have complained about erratic or uncertain leadership and repeated delays in resolving important issues.

The conflict goes well beyond Capitol Hill. The failure of congressional leaders to deliver a clear message has left some Democratic governors deeply frustrated and at odds with Washington Democrats over strategy.

  1. Ha ha ha! I even laughed before finishing my morning coffee. The Democrats’ lack of direction is really funny…so long as they’re not in power.

    Both parties are a disgrace. This should be pretty clear by now.

  3. Michael says:

    It’s always easier to make it look like you stand for something. In this case it is hitting your opponent (GOP) while their down and saying that is your AGENDA.
