Democrats and Image
I guess the Democrats just do not care about image.
Perhaps they really feel principle trumps image, even if your principles have been shown in both, the 2002 midterm elections and 2004 Presidential election, to be out of step with the majority of the "States" in this United States of America.
Notice, I did not say majority of the population because the USA is a Republic of United States founded upon the principles of Democracy, and not a simple Democracy. Each State is represented in the Senate by two Senators. So power is divided among states not population.
Today, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia (D), a reported former Klansman and infamous for his "white niggers" remark in 2001, is planning to lecture us for four hours today about why a black woman should not be appointed Secretary of State. Of course, his reasons have nothing to do with the color of her skin, but when there is a racial undertone to an issue in this country, it is rare that substance triumphs image.
Democrats wake up if you want to have a single seat in the House or Senate after the 2006 midterm elections.
Or better yet, don't bother waking up and perhaps we can truly have a new political party which stands for something and has more John Kennedy than Teddy Kennedy in it. Because at least John Kennedy understood "Image matters."
