Read Free Republic. Learn Something. Who knew?


There is a media theme going around (may have originated with the Democrats, or maybe Republicans are just saying it originated there) that Democrats believe that 2006 will be for them what 1994 was for Republicans -- scandal fatigue will end the Republican domination of Congress.

While I don't usually troll on Free Republic, I caught this observation that I think the Democrats would be wise to consider:
The media quickly forgets that in 1994 the Repubs coalesced around the Contract For America, a plan, a real plan, while the dems did nothing and do nothing but attack, attack, attack.
Interesting theory. And worth asking -- what are the Democrats offering right now except criticisms and attacks? How about ignoring the obvious and talking about what an ethical Congress, undistracted by scandal, could be accomplishing right now?

Just a thought.

Along the lines of what you're talking about, this piece by Peter Daou over at Salon is well worth taking a look at:

Enjoy, if that's the right word for a dead on critique of one's political party.
