The Cowardice of the Democrats
I think Kos is onto something:
Many Democrats, especially its pathetic consultant class, still
believe that the way Democrats show "strength" is by huffing and
puffing and threatening to bomb the "f" out of Iraq, Iran, Venezuela,
or whatever the latest boogeyman of the moment might be.In reality, Democrats are seen as weak because they are afraid to
stand for those things they believe in. And if they won't fight for
what they believe in, how can voters trust them to fight for anything
that truly matters, whether it's national security or anything else?
The lesson of Reagan and to a lesser extent Thatcher - the pre-eminent conviction politicians of my lifetime - is that even those who deeply disagreed with them eventually respected their ability to stand for something unpopular and to lead. When I look at the Democrats today, I see no such conviction. That's a problem. No one is worse than Clinton, of course.
