It is commonly stated that our modern Democratic leadership has no ideas or agenda, but only reflexive reactions to obstruct any measure put forth by anyone with even the remotest relationship to President Bush.

I disagree. The Democratic leadership has a determined agenda with many ideas. However, since these have lost a great deal of credibility with the unwashed masses who still inexplicably have retained the right to vote, the Big Libs are constrained from openly and truthfully advertising them.
