Harold Fineman says ... remember the Contract with America??
That the Dems will come out with their own around Labor Day called "The Plan"
And a promise from a Dem is worth...?
It will be interesting to see what specifics the Democrat believe will get voters to support them. Hating Bush or cut and run out of Iraq do not seem to fit that model.
The Plan? That oughta be good. The only plan the Dems have for November is impeachment and troop withdrawal. And announcing the new SECDEF for a Dem admin in 2008-Cindy Sheehan..
"That the Dems will come out with their own around Labor Day called "The Plan""
Thanks Mo.
HAHAHAHA! Oh, I'm just waiting breathlessly for the *Plan*! Is that the *Plan* Kerry kept promising, or the one the Dims were going to bring out after the last election, or the one from Dec, or the one in Feb, or ??? \
I suspect they're either going to have to first determine which group of the party they're going to develop their plan for (the moveon.org and left-wing wackos, Daily Kos and other extreme left-wing wackos, the Regan Democrats, or ??) or have more than 1 "Plan".
Dems need a plan

Beyond the demented horseplay displayed at the Alito hearings, the fatuity of John Kerry calling for a filibuster from the polo stables at Davos, and the increasingly impudent calls for the impeachment of President Bush, we’re all waiting for the Democrats to begin advertising their long awaited plan.
There are supposed to be two vaunted Democratic plans in play, one for the vital recapturing of America--the one that will insure their re-election, and perhaps the most vital element, the plan to be followed once the Senate, the House and the Presidency are all back in liberal hands.

They need a plan for security beyond name calling and lies. If the Democratic Party is to win an election in this most trying of international times, they will need a platform based on something other than the coy utterances of newspapers, the catatonic blather of party plenipotentiaries, the cries of impeachment and the need for ever more investigations and politically contrived hearings, the damning of the President for his protection of the citizenry, the base reliance on racial politics, and the seeming protection of terror and its apparatus. And they need it soon, with the mid-term elections in the fall. But with the next white-hot super-charged scandal coming up, the NSA, and its associated hearings, they may not have time.
After Bush was elected the first time, he was accused of keeping his campaign promises, viewed at that time as a novel yet unfair political tactic. Will the Democrats be so bold as to keep their promises, or will they revert, should they win, to the days of old when they controlled everything, threw up a million straw men to deflect scrutiny, and solved nothing,
At the rate we’re going, with Hamas, and with Iran and North Korea, we may well face the launching of missiles in the very near future. A plan, any plan, would be nice, if only for discussion.
