I think that the Democrats are very much suffering from the same problem as the federal Liberals. They jump all over the place on issues and don't have a defined definate platform, as a party they come across as, well to me anyways really disjointed, they're trying to please everyone no matter what the issues and they come across as inconsistant.

The Liberals up here tossed the election away because they couldn't settle on any issue except to attack the conservative platform, the Dems in the states are very much the same.

Its great to say for example that your going to pull the troops out of Iraq, but at least define what you mean and stick to it, and make sure that you can explain the consequences of the action. Its great to say that the president is attacking the constitution, but instead of railing at it, look like you actually know what your talking about.

The American people don't want or need emotional talking heads in government, they want someone that sounds like they have a specific viewpoint or platform and is willing to stick to it. Its the oldest trait of good leadership.

I respect some of the Democrats when they say something, but to me they're the minority.

I respect some of what the Liberals want, but its the issue jumping and wishy washyness that drives me away.
