There was a time, Darcy, when your party stood for the victims of oppression and not for the oppressors.

When? If you refer to the times of "Ich bin ein Berliner", the democrat party was also the party of KKK and racial discrimination, and Johnson
could never have passed his constitutional amendment without republican support: had the vote been only between democrats would not have
had the required majority.

It was also Republicans not Democrats who gave women the right to vote. I will not tell who abolished slavery and who took arms to perpetuate it.

#2 Credit where due JFM, JFK did re-enforce the Berlin Brigade and send them to the very edge to support the jellyroll.

#3 Actually, I predict a drawdown if they lose seats too.

#4 "Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq,"

When you see a Democratic plan for anything with the word "responsible" in it, that's the first indication that you should hold onto your ass. Tightly.

#5 JFM,

You can also add to that list that the donks reintroduced racial segregation to the nation's capital in the 20th century.

The only donk who really ran against the tide, besides LBJ who needed trunk help as you note, was Truman.

#6 "The people inside the Beltway don't seem to get how big an issue this is, said Darcy Burner"

Translation: Holy Shit! Moveon.org is spending cabbage like a drunken sailor.

#7 The Democrats can't even pick a candidate for President without screwing it up beyond belief. Why should anyone listen to them about Iraq?

#8 The last time the Dems in the Senate tried to push a drawdown measure through they couldn't even hold a majority of their own caucus. I don't see that changing next year even if Darcy gets precious self elected to the House.

#9 Even the Brookings Institute takes the position that any drawdown will have to be done slowly and dependent on the situation.
