If The Democratic Party reads polls, such as the recent
Washington Post Poll below, it has all the evidence that it needs to conclude that the
DLC is wrong yet again and a tremendous
drag on the Party.
This poll has Bush at 45% approval and 53% disapproval overall, and, for Iraq only 42% approval and 57% disapproval.
More importantly, the poll shows that The Democratic Party's unholy kinship with Dick Cheney's immoral, blood-soaked foreign policy agenda and the total lack of leadership coming from the Democratic Party leaders is indeed catching up with them too.
They are sinking here at just as fast a rate as
Bush is.
Dissatisfaction is not limited to the president. Fewer than four in 10 Americans -- 37 percent -- approve of the way the Republican-controlled Congress is doing its job, the lowest rating for lawmakers in nearly eight years.
The survey also provided bad news for Democratic leaders, who are judged as offering Bush only tepid opposition. Slightly more than half of those surveyed expressed dissatisfaction with congressional Democrats for not opposing Bush more aggressively.
Self-identified Democrats were particularly impatient. More than three in four said congressional Democrats have not gone far enough to oppose Bush on Iraq or on administration policies in general.
"Somebody needs to speak up," said Michelle Burgess, 41, a home health aide in St. Louis. "Enough is enough. I don't understand why we're over there in Iraq or what he's doing on other issues. There are too many lives being lost."
Independents were similarly dissatisfied with Democratic leaders for not challenging the president over the war and other issues, with six in 10 saying Democrats have been too meek.
Time to speak the hell up Democrats!!
Tell the DLC to go F**K OFF and don't listen to them ever again!!
