"They knew what Bush stood for," says Bayh. "We run the risk of losing our credibility if people don't know what we are for."

Nice words but were they spoken before or after he voted against Condi Rice for Secretary of State in a naked attempt to appeal to the lunatic left.
One is to presume this was positioning for the 2008 primaries.

Let them make all the grand statements they want.The American people know what they are for and their credibility has already been lost by their unending political maneuvering in lieu of leadership.

Ummmm, Sen. Bayh, isn't much of the problem the fact that so much of America has determined exactly for what the Democratic leadership stands?

Such as:

1. Representing the anti-American elite in Hollywood, academia and the media?
   
2. Representing the privileged wealthy who feel entitlements to power like Soros, Kennedy and Heinz-Kerry?
   
3. Representing the subculture sewer of abortion, pornography and immorality?
   
4. Representing racial bigots like the NAACP, MeCha, and CAIR?
   
5. Representing the peace at any price Marxist front groups like A.N.S.W.E.R.?
   
6. Representing the lunatic fringe of environmental and social revolutionary-terrorist groups such as ELF, ALF, PETA and the Global Warming crowd?
   
7. Need I go on?
