Off With Their Heads

No, not the President's - that would get me a visit from the Secret Service. :-) Off with the heads of the Democratic leadership.

They've led us into another disaster of an election, and it's time for them to go. The head of the DNC, the congressional leadership, all of them. The only good thing about Daschle losing is that it was Daschle himself who lost. The time is over for the Democratic party having leaders who act like Republicans because they represent Republican-leaning states. Daschle is the man whose idea of countering Bush's $1.6 trillion tax cut - back at a time when NO ONE in the country wanted that tax cut and Bush had no mandate at all - Daschle said "how about $1.3 trillion instead?" Yes, that's our idea of a tenanacious leader. So while I don't want to lose a Democratic seat in the Senate, if we had to lose one, I'm glad it's Daschle.

I'll be talking more in future posts about what's needed to change this party. But the very first thing is Terry McAuliffe, the head of the Democratic party, must resign and make room for new blood. The same old losers can't keep running our party, and quasi-party, organizations. It's time to clean house, and hire some people who talk and think like Democrats but fight like Republicans.
