Vote For Us We Stand For Nothing
Is there ANYTHING the Democratic Party will not flip/flop on or dodge for political expediency?

Hat Tip Captian's Quarters at This Race Brought To You By Texas Democrats

The Democrats sued to keep DeLay's name on the Texas ballot. after his resignation, reversing the stance they took with Frank Lautenberg after Robert Torricelli had to resign for ethics violations. Back then, in 2002, the Democrats sued to get Torricelli's name off the ballot, claiming that refusing to allow Lautenberg to replace the Torch on the ballot stripped New Jersey voters of a real choice in the election. Their argument of the reverse in Texas puts them in the cynical position of claiming that democracy has less value in Texas than the Garden State -- or just revealing themselves as hypocrites.

There was a time the Democratic Party STOOD for something and on principles.

These days it's platforms have been replaced with quicksand.

This is not the only We Stand For Nothing Issue to arise as I posted in Democrats will have an "issue agenda"

The Democrats Punt

Nancy Pelosi says that the Democrats will have an "issue agenda" for next year's Congressional elections, but it will not include a position on Iraq.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party

It certainly is convienient to be on both sides of an issue, no matter what the outcome, you can claim you were right.

If having NO position as a Party on the Iraq War is a source of strength, will having no position on any other issue but them in a position of unassailable strength?


Vote for us, we stand for Nothing?
