21. Let me elaborate why some Democrats are prone to inaction
Edited on Thu Aug-02-07 12:30 PM by MrScorpio
This is precisely due the fact that the Republican's anti-government rhetoric has polluted the electorate so severely that it affects all involved.

Politically vulnerable Democrats could find themselves out of office, unless they don't appear to increase the "burden" of government on the electorate as defined by Republican philosophy.

This lowers the levels of action. Sort of like a lowering tide lowering all ships.


As a result, we all suffer.
