Yep. From the outside, the Democrats look as incompetent as the Republicans look evil.

that's kind of the view from the inside as well.

it's more nuanced, certainly, and you know why the Republicans are evil (oil money, defense money, staright up racism/christianism/sexism/homophobia) and why the Democrats are incompetent (fear of Republican attack ads, pandering).

but the overall paradigm is correct.

Don't make the dems look like some kind of innocent victim. They wouldn't do what you want even if they weren't 'afraid.' They're just like all other politicians, they are all incompetant and dishonest.

I give her credit for fighting and standing up for what she believes in.

I do too. I have one living son. Age 23. And I admire Cindy for what she has done. Bush's War has done nothing for the Iraqi people. Except to tear apart their country.
