 [How long will it take for them to get back with their own program?] Until the Democratic Party realizes that it must back up its political tactics with conviction and strong stands, ... the party will have a very difficult time constructing a durable majority. |
| A candidate who votes for Roberts, opens themselves up to attack on the grounds that they are not a qualified standard bearer for the party, ... Hillary Clinton or any candidate can't take the Democratic Party for granted. If Roberts hands down some extreme rulings, a vote for Roberts becomes a symbol of the negative consequences of Democratic capitulation. |
| Firstly, Republicans are zealots. Secondly, where the hell are the Democrats? And thirdly, well, at least the zealots believe in something strongly. And that's the problem for Democrats right now on this issue, and a whole host of others. The party seems unwilling to stand up for anything controversial. |
| I think what will happen is if things continue to go as they are in Iraq, more Democrats will basically move to Feingold's position. . . . At that point he has already in a very high-profile way said to voters in all of America and primary voters, 'I am a leader. I am a guy who took this position,' |
| I think you cannot run a modern campaign in a post-9/11 era and deliberately not take a position on the most pressing national security issue of our time — I think the public will react to that. That's what leadership is … it's forging these kinds of coalitions that take steps forward and doesn't necessarily allow the caucus or the Democratic Party to just wallow in this issueless muck. |
| If you remember, the first day after Bush nominated Roberts as an associate justice, Democrats were basically out there talking tactics/strategy instead of conviction, and essentially saying they couldn't do anything. It was truly pathetic. They created a self-fulfilling prophecy by rolling over and dying. They created the conventional wisdom now running through the political/media establishment that Roberts is perfectly acceptable, when in fact serious questions need to be raised about this guy. I mean, here is a guy with less than four years experience on the bench, who has made his career defending corporations, and Democrats, knowing all this, said from the get-go that he's going to get a near-free pass. |
| Morale is a direct consequence of being treated well by a company, and employees return the 'gift' of good treatment with higher productivity and work quality, lower turnover (which reduces recruiting and training costs), a decrease in workers shirking their duties and a superior pool of job applicants. These gains translate directly into higher company profitability. |
| Over the last five years, political power has been usurped from state and local governments in a way not seen before in American history. That may seem like just a concern for academic types, but it should worry every American, as the power grab increasingly creeps into almost every aspect of citizens' economic life. |
| Primary candidates spend months publicly beating one another up and spending money that should otherwise be hoarded for use against the other party. Meanwhile, incumbents rise above it all stressing their credentials as statesmen. |
| The calculus by Democrats is that they don't want to offend anyone. But in trying not to offend anyone, they lose support from everyone. What many Democrats haven't yet learned from Republicans is that it is better to be loved by some, and hated by others, than try to be liked by everyone. Because when you do that, you are liked by no one. |
| The congressional delegation refuses to take sides in a dispute where a massively profitable, taxpayer-funded company is trying to crush workers shows just how pathetically out of touch our government really is. |
| The Democrats believe they can win by default, as long as the Republicans keep screwing things up, ... But just because Republicans lose popular support doesn’t mean Democrats gain it. |
| The Democrats believe they can win by default, as long as the Republicans keep screwing things up. But just because Republicans lose popular support doesn't mean Democrats gain it. |
| The fact is, the perception that it is a 'fait accompli' was put out there by Democrats from the start, which has served to dampen grassroots energy out there, |
| The goal is to bring as diverse a coalition together as possible so that our side has a cohesive agenda in the states. For too long, conservatives have been able to use huge sums of money to push the most radical right-wing policies through state legislatures. PLAN is committed to putting together the necessary resources and necessary coalitions to help progressive legislators stop this unchecked extremism, and start passing legislation that makes state governments work for ordinary citizens, not just monied special interests. |
