Why are Democrats playing a losing card?

You know the democrats are constantly shooting themselves in the foot.  \n\nThey constantly criticize the president on his policies, both domestic and foreign, they always are against whatever policy the republican party put up as policy or law or want to enact in the congress.\n\nWhat really get me about the democrats they do all this,hold up all the republican and presidential proposals, yet they never never come up with a solution to any problem or offer any good worthwhile suggestions,just constant criticism.\n\nWhen they come up with a few new ideas, solve some of the problems in their party perhaps they can win the white house again.  \n\nAs far as Howard we are going to go and take the campaign to all those states he was yelling about, we don't need a president like that.  \n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

Thats a good question...I think the Democrats have a really good chance of winning a lot of seats as long as they stick with it they should be able to win them. Republican candidates are trying to distance themselves from Bush as much as possible but I don't think it's going to work

Democrates see a defeat in Iraq as a political victory and a path back to power .\nLet's remember who cut the military budget and manpower by 30% While our embassies , troops and ships were being bombed overseas by terrorists .

Democrats are unhappy because now their own butts are sitting in glass houses, so no more throwing stones for them. \n\nThey need to come up with a plan to run the country. If they work WITH the president, the alienate themselves from their base. If they obstruct, they alienate themselves from the country. It's a no-win situation, and they know it.

If they don't lose at least one of the 2 houses I will be personally convinced that Diebold (Republican) voting machines are running the country and that democracy as we know it is dead.  We need a third party to keep the Dems and the Republicans honest and answering to the people instead of their own selfish interests.  Absolute power corrupts and I don't think it matters who is in that power seat - bring on a third party that really cares about things that matter like the environment.  We need bold, new leadership.

Well the democrats SHOULD win...historically, the party out of power has sucess in the "lame duck election". If they don't win, they're doomed.

Why when repubs win, they cheer and get happy for their accomplishments, but when the dems win, or lose even, they're bad sports?\n\nAnd to answer you, I'm a conservative dem that is sick of the liberal influence of our party.  You cheer now, but I don't think you'll be cheering next year when things even out.  The new legislature is going to be pretty moderate.

It does take two to tango. But I am going to be very pissed at Democrats (I am one) if they pull this stunt. They have talked one way for years, and now appear poised to do the opposite? -- Or is it just another 1) GOP fear and smear job against Democrats, prompted by their recent congressional upset or 2) another historic repeat of a scenario we know so well: GOP messes things up, paints the country into a corner, then leaves the Democrats to clean up their mess?\n\nI need more information.

It's just another Republican talking point.  They've lost power, now they're seeking to apply pressure to the Democrats to force them to make nice.  I think the rationale is, if they can spin the Democrat's efforts to reverse some of the harm that's been done as partisanship, they can hobble them to a degree.  Public opinion lost them this election, now they're going to try and use it to make the Dems appear to be every bit as bad for the country as 12 years of Republican dominance.\n\nAnd no, people may not realize how ridiculous it sounds.  The reason those tactics work as well as they do is because the general public has chronic memory loss, and is far too easily led.  If the Republicans embark on a sustained effort to hinder and deride Democrats for the next 2 years, they may well be able to use public opinion to regain some territory in 2008.  That's what they're aiming for. \n\n'Unity,' now that power has changed hands, is a nice, convenient sentiment, but I for one don't feel sentimental about my country's political landscape.  I can't afford to, and whether they know it or not, neither can anyone else.

The Redsters are far superior in selling a ticket.\n\nThe democrats only have one unifying element. They are not nor ever will they be Republican.\n\nGo big Red Go

They are desperate to maintain control because of the money to be lost if the dems cause an Iraqi pull out.\n\nSee it at  http://apnews1.iwon.com/article/20061107/D8L8H0S81.html

If Democrats are demonic so are Republicans.  They want to solve the same problems, they just have a different method of solving such problems.

Cause they lost. They have little control in the house and a big democrat vote this election, means big democrate trends and likelyhood of a democrat president. I'm actually a republicn, but their needs to be big changes, and I was all about a democraic vote.We've gone down hill, a change in domination of the hosue may help.

I have a tendency to think right now that the democrats are just flexing their new found muscles.The New York Times this morning was all talk about how the democrats were only in a hurry about getting the Iraqi war situation in hand and establishing a withdrawal date.\nPolitics are all about compromise,both party's do it all the time.Neither will get all of what they want,its a trade off.There were a lot of moderate Democrats that were elected,not all are of the "lets give away the farm"attitude.\nI keep saying that each side of this issue are getting in too big a hurry to claim victory.After all what have the pro illegals won,yet? Nothing,the anti war /anti Bush faction won.I personally will take a wait and see stance on this.\nTime will tell the whole story.In the mean time,I'm contacting my states government,and this nations government officials and letting them know my views on immigration.The fights not over,its only just started.\nNo to blanket amnesty,\nsecure our borders
