There are some real issues with many of the "old guard" democrats being seen for what they are, especially now that the clinton news network isnt the #1 cable new channel anymore. With the advent of the internet and the ability for average joe voter so actually research the hypocrisy of many politicians stances, it is becoming ever so important for politicians to have a real position based on their beliefs and not based on how they can play partizan politics.
It really makes you look stupid when you stand behind a democratic president and say that sadam is an iminant threat to national and global security and peace....and then a few years later, when sadam is even more of a threat and has continued to ignore and/or circumvent all of the concisions of his 1991 surrender, to stand up and whine and complain that the republican president is out of line, and not giving sadam enough time yada yada yada.
Makes Mr Dachle look like what he is, a partizan politically motivated power monger, with the security and safety of America and its citizens only important if it doesnt get in the way of his political games and aspirations.
It may already be too late for the Democratic party in 2004, their leadership is clearly divided, and they need to pull things together before to much longer
