From the Washington Times:
No soul-searching.
That was the verdict of Democratic leaders yesterday in the wake of across-the-board losses in the Tuesday elections. They lost, they said, not for the positions they took but because of a difficult election map and because Republicans clouded the issues.
“It’s not about soul-searching,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat. “It may be about how we can educate the American people more clearly on the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
The same article quotes Zell Miller, who wants to see the Left seek strategies that might actually win more votes:
Sen. Zell Miller, the retiring Georgia Democrat who worked to elect Mr. Bush, said the Tuesday elections are more evidence that Democrats must change their message. “Fiscal responsibility is unbelievable in the face of massive new spending promises. A foreign policy based on the strength of ‘allies’ like France is unacceptable,” he said. “A strong national defense policy is just not believable coming from a candidate who built a career as an anti-war veteran, an anti-military candidate and an anti-action senator.”
“When will national Democrats sober up and admit that that dog won’t hunt?” he asked. “Secular socialism, heavy taxes, big spending, weak defense, limitless lawsuits and heavy regulation that pack of beagles hasn’t caught a rabbit in the South or Midwest in years.”
The Left really needs to wake up and come up with some ways of its own to help America.
