I finally found a link of the entire article here:

I have no idea why it's a subscription-only article in 1 spot, but available to all in other spot.

Anyway, it's basically saying that the democrats over-reached under Carter and the early Clinton years and paid at the ballot box, and they are about to see it happen again, which is all true. Bayh says the left-wingers in his party have to re-learn their lesson every 14-16 years and that he's been warning the democrats about this in recent months. Perhaps if Bayh spoke with action instead of just moving his lips they would have listened. Did he tell them, "slow down on stimulus?" If so, why did he vote for it? Did he tell them, "slow down on health care?" If so, why did he vote for it? They wanted to cram as much down our throats as quickly as they could. Why would they give him a second thought about slowing down if he told them "please slow down...but if you don't I'll still vote with the party"? What a wuss. In other words, Bayh agrees completely with the Socialist agenda (otherwise, he wouldn't vote for it, right?), he just was in favor of implementing it a little slower.

And he's a "moderate"? I guess that means the difference between a liberal democrat and "moderate" democrat has nothing to do with political philosophy, but only how fast it should be jammed down our throats.
