There is an unspoken ordtak

There is an unspoken but enormously wide gap between the views of Democrats in Washington and Democrats in the country on Iraq.

One of the points we want to make is we're regular rural folks. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. We're not California Democrats, Washington Democrats, or even Austin Democrats. We don't want to be defined by what people think we are.

In Washington, DC, Democrats still stuck in the New Deal are reflexively searching for national solutions to local problems. We Republicans, having found ourselves in charge, have decided it is more blessed to impose our views rather than to liberate America from Washington's views.

Lamar Alexander

I think people have a sense that right now Democrats are completely powerless in Washington, that they're just sort of bystanders. But there's a danger of Democrats' looking always like they are carping. It's important for them to articulate some kind of vision.

Some of the things I've heard from the Democrats make me wonder if they really are serious about getting a stimulus package, ... Sometimes, when you look at what they say, it seems to me that the Democrats think a recession is bad for the country, but good for them politically.

[Social Democrats, however, have not excluded joining a] grand coalition ... I am campaigning for a government of Christian Democrats and Free Democrats.

He?s facing a potentially divisive primary, and most of the criticism he?s taking is from Democrats. He?s sided with Bush as much as he can. Iraq is enough. And he?s got to go out of his way to show Democrats that he?s a legitimate Democrat worthy of their support. That?s all this is, and it makes perfect sense.

I obviously agree Katrina has to be our top priority at the moment, ... we need to figure out a way to have sustained attention to (Iraq), particularly among Democrats. The situation looks worse and worse, and Democrats do not look like they have a clear way to go on this.

Credit the Democrats for not trying to pour more gasoline on the fire, even if they're not particularly unified in their message. Democrats could jump all over them and try to pin Bush down on it, but I'm not sure it would do anything but make things worse. The smartest thing for Democrats to do is be supportive.

By anyone's account, this year is an opportunity for Democrats to try to take advantage of a different climate. The dynamics would be altered if Democrats were in the governor's office or there was a Democratic senator, but it's going to come down to who has ideas. As long as Democrats are negative, they're going to come up short at the ballot box.

John McClelland

In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it's time to look elsewhere. . . . Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.

Marianne Williamson (1952-)

That has nothing to do with the White House, and for the Democrats to complain after they supported that blasphemous and slanderous movie by Michael Moore, which is the worst trash ever, and yet Democrats appearing at the premiere and the opening - it's absolutely disgraceful that the Democrats even raised that.

While Democrats reinforced the old idea that they just want to spend, Bush appealed to a public that wants both accountability and funding. It's stunning to see Democrats lose their edge on education. ... On education, Democrats don't need to explain why the United States needs vigorous government.

Democrats give away their old clothes; Republicans wear theirs. Republicans employ exterminators; Democrats step on the bugs. Democrats eat the fish they catch; Republicans stuff 'em and hang 'em on the wall.

The encouraging thing is that in the aftermath of this fiasco everybody is outraged and the generosity of white suburban Republicans as well as black liberal Democrats indicates that the country wants better from its government and wants better from its politics, ... The burden is on us as Democrats, the burden is on me as a U.S. senator to help bridge that gap.
