You can't find a majority of Democratic legislators who actually reflect the worst criticisms
Bush has undoubtedly been gifted with some key legislation because of the accommodation of our leadership in allowing the bills to advance. But the overwhelming majority of our legislators have voted they way we wanted them to.

Despite that, some folks have made it their mission to crusade against "Democrats" for the stupid, negligent, or complicit actions of a minority in our party. I would like to see a more targeted attack on that minority, rather than the broad brush attacks on 'Democrats', as a whole, that are popular with many folks these days.

2. If I am going to rail , it is usually because the Blue Dogs
or DLC have ticked me off.

4. I think we've lost many of the good parliamentarians who knew how to manage bills
without giving republicans the advantage.

That's as charitable as I can be to Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, et al.
