But standing around saying "what are we going to do?" isn't an attractive policy statement either. Especially if they've been doing it for years.

It was painfully obvious to voters in 2004 that Kerry didn't have clue one about how to deal with Iraq.

In more recent statements, he's settled on "surrender," which is what he probably thought back then, but knew damn well it wouldn't help him with the American electorate.

Hillary is all over the map, depending on who she's talking to at a given moment. There isn't one statement I've seen her make that you can't go back and find her saying almost the opposite on another occassion.

Check out the DNC site. This is where the alternative to the Republicans currently stands, and what they consider the critical issues of the day.

Their attempt to sound like they have any credibility on National Security fell flat. So did "Culture of Corruption." They have no consistent position on immigration, budget issues, or anything else.

Good luck with all that.
