are Democrats "dead elephants" too?

[DeadElephant_ORG]

When the DeadElephant.ORG campaign was launched, a month before the '06 election for Congress and the Senate, most of us on the Left assumed that the minority Democrats then in office were simply cowed by the Republican juggernaut, and that if we could win them a majority then circumstances would dramatically shift. Wishful thinking perhaps, but at the time it seemed obvious. And after election night our hopes were high.

Patriots who demand an end to this immoral war, an end to "faith-based" reasoning that trumps any commitment to honesty or facts, and an end to the buildup of a police state here in "the homeland", have repeatedly been disappointed by the newly-empowered Democrats. The real attitude of "our" party was laid bare when half of them voted to censure MoveOn -- and much worse has already gone down in the 4 weeks since that.

To the degree to which they operate as a "Republican-lite" party, our communal prayer for the Democrats is well-captured by the dead elephant symbol.

1. Before you screw up the party, here's some information you missed...

I guess I'll have to keep posting this till it stops bouncing off people's heads:

"President Bush's success rating in the Democratic-controlled House has fallen this year to a half-century low, and he prevailed on only 14 percent of the 76 roll call votes on which he took a clear position.

"So far this year, Democrats have backed the majority position of their caucus 91 percent of the time on average on such votes. That marks the highest Democratic unity score in 51 years."

Don't let the media rhetoric fool you. The Democrats have acquitted themselves quite well--especially given their bare majority in both houses, and a relentlessly obstructionist Republican minority.
