Reply #44: "culture of contentment" [View All]

I like that.
That is perfect.
The perfect campaign idea to run on if running against a Dem in a primary.

If they used a narrative that sounded something like:

If Repubs in Washington are embroiled in a "culture of corruption" (and they are), then just as true, Democrats in Washington are embroiled in a "culture of contentment"

They don't want to act like a true opposition party, nor stand up to Bush and the Repubs because they are comfortable with the way things are... afraid of change. And never mind how the rest of the country is being hurt.

If a candidate then followed that up with a promise to do all he could to change *both* cultures in Washington, I would most certainly vote for him.

Perfect explanation of what's happening right now.
I think the only solution is mass challenges in the primaries.
They would lose; I know it, no matter how much money they had.
The base is sick of them.
