Yeah few Democrats stood up ADMITTING voting for bumacare for Nov. 1, 2010 elections. Those Demo's passed it brushing off BAD POLLS.

Not EVERYONE THOUGHT we needed it. Took a lot of PORK & bought votes to pass bumacare.

Maybe you can answer ? This great thing called bumacare, why 4 + year wait for all of it. Surely Dem's would be a shoe in at election time WITH THAT GREAT WORK OF ART. JUST LIKE HAPPENED NOV. 1, 2010.

Sadly, I must agree that dems are unwilling to say why they support the things we all agree are good things, even if we disagree as to how to achieve them.

Dems seem to be talking to a hypothetical "center" that doesn't understand america and has not lived through the last 40 years.

You are so right. You have identified all the sweet spots of the democratic party and what is lacking in their message to the American voter. They should take your advice and get to work NOW!
