- Robert Scheer: Will the Real Democrats Please Stand Up?
  Posted by Billbar from Truth Out
  With their stands on the Iraq War, Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton are hurting the party. Why is it so difficult for the Democrats to grasp that waffling doesn't work as a form of leadership? The public takes it as a sign of moral disarray.

- Unit that hunted bin Laden closed - International Terrorism
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  Incredible - this is a feast for the Democrats: "Agency officials said that tracking bin Laden and his deputies remained a high priority, and that the decision to disband the unit was not a sign that the effort had slackened."

- Democrats' loser linguistics
  Posted by Billbar from Los Angeles Times
  Republicans aren't winning because they have the best buzzwords, but because they're fluent in politics' ground-level language.

- Democrats taking dirty cash too!
  Posted by Damianmann from Reuters
  Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP, the securities class action law firm indicted last week on fraud charges stemming from corporate lawsuits it filed, made large political contributions almost exclusively to Democrats since 1999, records show.

- Democrats will stand by U.S. Rep. implicated in bribery scandal
  Posted by Billbar from Rawstory
  A report in today's Roll Call claims that, behind the scenes, Democratic leaders including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), hope for Democratic Rep. William Jefferson's departure from Congress. Internal party politics, claims the article, are preventing leaders from speaking out in public on the matter.

- How the Democrats Played at Reform
  Posted by Damianmann from Motherjones
  This was the year that the Democrats were supposed to seize on the public outrage over Republican corruption (and incompetence) as a mandate to clean up Washington and win back Congress. But by the end of last week, Congress moved even closer to passing weak legislation that did little to alter the way business is done in Washington – and, some critics say, Democratic weakness, hypocrisy and ineptness has helped make it all possible.

Bill Clinton wanted to be the left-wing Reagan. Wouldn’t you say? He was after those same voters.

Also:
"Thomas Frank wrote a best-selling book four years ago (What’s the Matter with Kansas?), which examined this process in his home state, and his conclusions about the use of coded appeals to religion to induce voters to ignore their own economic interests have become conventional wisdom in ruling class political and media circles.

"While Frank’s book had certain insights into American culture and politics, he ignored the most fundamental factor enabling the Republican appeals to prejudice and backwardness to produce electoral successes—the drastic shift by the Democratic Party to the right and its abandonment of any policies to alleviate economic inequality or improve living conditions for working people.
—Patrick Martin, "US media, Clinton assail Obama for ‘bitter’ truth, World Socialist Web Site, 14 April 2008.
