Julian's concern is for the Dems to retake power in '06 and '08...
He simply understands what needs to be done..
Complaining about the republicans will not win votes..
Providing solutions will..
Perhaps you're right, although a true Kool-Aid drinking Dem might have said "but the Dems are offering lots of great solutions!" etc.
I'm going to give Julian some credit for this, and will certainly be watching to see if this is a trend.
Now that Mike and Juliet are gone from F&F Weekend, perhaps Julian feels more of an obligation to carry the 'fair & balanced' water.
But that's a Catch 22. They can't be honest about their solutions because all of them involve raising taxes and expanding federal spending and regulations. Or in the case of the War on Terror -- bringing the troops home from Iraq.
Not winning issues.
The Dems will be coming out with their Contract ON AMerica soon and Julian will sing its praises
