Democrats Are Considering What They Believe

Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reports that, "at the right time, we will have a position" on the Iraq War.

In other words, Democrats are waiting for the polls to tell them what they need to think and when they need to think it for maximum political advantage. Nothing new here. Howard Dean laid out the Democrats complete absence of principle on Meet the Press last Sunday.

MR. RUSSERT: But there's no Democratic plan on Social Security. There's no Democratic plan on the deficit problem. There's no specifics. They say, "Well, we want a strong Social Security. We want to reduce the deficit. We want health care for everyone," but there's no plan how to pay for it.

DR. DEAN: Right now it's not our job to give out specifics.
