'Moderate' Democrats Take Turn At Doom & Gloom

Under the guise of putting forth an agenda, 'moderate' Democrats instead just kept talking about what terrible shape America is in. Whining is as much a part of a Democrats' DNA as ncreasing taxes is. Here's a sample:
Sadly, Vilsack said, many of America's children nowadays don't have faith in the idea of an American dream. "They don't believe in the notion that somehow they're going to have a great life, and many adults are just hoping that their kids have it as good as they have it. Deep down in America's psyche that troubles a lot of us," he said. "I don't want to be part of the generation, the first generation in this country's history, to basically look my kids in the eye and say: 'Sorry. Hopefully you'll have it as good as we have it.' And, I don't think too many American parents want to have that conversation with their kids either," Vilsack said. Additionally, the Iowa Democrat said: "We are a competitive nation. We don't like losing and if we're going to compete in the global economy, we're going to have to do things differently."
I know Vilsack can't praise the President much but it's pretty sickening when he paints a picturewith that much doom and gloom. Unemployment & taxes are down. Home ownership is at an all time high. Productivity is high. We're winning the GWOT because we aren't giving it the ostrich treatment like the Clinton administration did. Those sound like radical improvements over the Clinton era.

At heart, Vilsack's message is the same as the Democrats' 04 yapping about the Great Depression. It failed then. It'll fail now.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, who led the yearlong effort and also may run for president , will outline the specific proposals in a speech to nearly 400 local elected Democratic officials from more than 40 states attending the organization's annual meeting in Republican-leaning Colorado. The site underscores the organization's contention that the party must broaden its appeal and reach out to voters in rapidly growing areas of the country if it wants to win control of Congress this fall and the White House in 2008.
Ms. Sidoti would be well-advised to take those rose-colored glasses off because she doesn't see things clearly. Hillary "also may run for president"? NO. Say it ain't so. Give me a break.

They can pick Colorado as a place to announce their agenda but their kook fringe 'base' turns people off in droves. The Nutroots gang is hastening the destruction of the Democratic Party. The sad thing is that they don't even know it. Good riddance.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada, his counterpart in the House, Nancy Pelosi of California, and Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean say voters have a clear choice, more of the same under Republicans or a new direction with Democrats in charge.
This is a major strategic mistake for Democrats. The only time they win is when they blur the differences between themselves and Republicans. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi don't appeal to voters like Newt did in 1994. Instead, they'll turn people away from the Democratic Party.

It appears as though there's another liberal apologist blog out there. Their name is News Hounds . The post that caught my attention dealt with last weekend's interview of Justin and Darryl Sharraltt on Hannity's America. To say that their post didn't attempt to refute Justin's story is understatement. In fact, they jump right into criticizing Mr. Hannity: Last night's (October 27th) Hannity's America was a strange magazine format which combined stories about mediums and haunted houses
