Another Kick in the Pants for Dems on Schiavo

In the Washington Post, columnist Richard Cohen blasts the Democrats for failing to stand on its principles in the Terri Schiavo case.

"But for me the real loser was the Democratic Party. It showed that it's almost totally without leadership. If there is a national figure (other than [Barney] Frank) who stood up and took on the GOP in this matter, his -- or her -- name does not come to mind. In the Senate, oddly enough, it was Virginia's John Warner who pointed out that he opposed the bill -- and he's a Republican, for goodness' sake. The Democrats were nowhere," says Cohen in the Washington Post.

Yes, the Dems stole defeat out of the jaws of victory. Again. The majority of Americans stand with the Dems on major issues. Unfortunately, the Dems are afraid to stand with the majority of Americans. Think anyone will apologize? Think anyone will get the message? Neither do I.
