Will Rogers’ old joke about not being part of any organized party, that he was a Democrat, was funny in it’s day, but they’re beyond disorganized now. Dysfunctional is more like it.
Think Progress » BREAKING: Feingold Accuses Senate Democrats of “Cowering” To Bush:
Sen. Feingold said the following to Fox News’ Trish Turner:
I’m amazed at Democrats, cowering with this president’s numbers so low. The administration just has to raise the specter of the war and the Democrats run and hide. … Too many Democrats are going to do the same thing they did in 2000 and 2004. In the face of this, they’ll say we’d better just focus on domestic issues. … [Democrats shouldn’t] cower to the argument, that whatever you do, if you question the administration, you’re helping the terrorists.
There was some hope that Howard Dean would breathe some life into its moribund carcass, but it might not be possible.
And true to form, a Republican colleague of Senator Feingold has accused him of aiding the enemy by introducing a censure resolution.
This isn’t your father’s democratically-elected republic.
