I thought I should articulate a message to democrats myself, having liked Bill in Portland Maine's message so much.
Americans elected you to lead us out of the Iraq mess. To that aim, here is the lesson you need to grasp. We are not in control and have no authority to dictate what happens in Iraq. Furthermore, the current administration is so skillfully incompetent that objectives hardly matter. Bring our people home.
When Americans find themselves unable to afford their medical insurance deductibles because their money was spent on medical insurance premiums, then it is time to make health care for all a priority. Even if you can't address it now, at least talk about it and hold hearings on the state of our health care system. Do this to set the stage for 2008, when hopefully spending will be under control.
Try to keep your in-party sniping, at least that originating from those in leadership roles, behind closed doors. Airing your dirty laundry in public makes you look bad. If you doubt me then read this article.
The price of oil is dropping but don't allow enthusiasm for renewable energy drop with it. Renewable energy strengthens America and simplifies our foreign policy in the middle east. Global warming will be a bigger problem than Iraq and the time for effective action is this next decade.
"It's the economy stupid", still applies. Balance America's checkbook.
The final piece of advice is pay no attention to that man behind the curtain making all that smoke and noise. The great Oz, he ain't.
