Some Democrats see their party's problem as Barack Obama's bipartisanship. Huh? Surely it couldn't have anything to do with the Democrats forcing unpopular legislation down Americans throat by holding vote auctions for reluctant Democrats.
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato
Several senators expressed the opinion that Obama needed to show more passion, while party liberals renewed their complaint that Obama should abandon the pretense of bipartisanship in the face of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s intransigence and what they consider the Kentucky Republican’s blatantly political tactics aimed at making Obama a one-term president.
Others said Democratic leaders need to clearly spell out what they believe are the motivations behind the Republicans' positions: that they are beholden to special interests, who bankroll their campaigns.
If Democrats keep losing the message war, they worry, they will be wiped out in 2012.
