12. Actually it could
Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 09:59 AM by karynnj
One way to interpret it is a that it calls for the need for less disiveness on the part of the Democrats. Senator Reid is trying to do this in the Senate. The MSM is pushing the idea that a diversity of opinions is a sign of ineptness - it isn't, it's a sign of intellectual healthiness. We should have real conversations, looking at issues from many sides and many angles. What we NEED though is respect for the discussion.

Consider that the MSM should be addressing what is the Republican plan - as it is the one to be implemented. Note that the press is fine with McCain and Hagel having different opinions than Bush - and they are the party in power. Also consider it may be better for the Democrats to have many ideas on the table and to be discussing them, which they likely are. Remember that Kerry last year said to Bush, you can be absolutely certain and be wrong.

In terms of joining the Republicans, I assume that saying positive things about Michael Moore might preclude that.
