Some of the very activists who helped propel the Democrats to a majority in
the House and Senate last week are claiming credit for the victories and
demanding what they consider their due: a set of ambitious - and politically
provocative - actions on gun control, abortion, national security and other
issues that party leaders fear could alienate moderate voters and leave
Democrats vulnerable to GOP attacks as big spenders or soft on terrorism.

I can't think of the last time I saw gun control mentioned
by a liberal blog... if ever.
As for abortion, I believe the liberal position is basically
to maintain the status quo.
So I guess the writer here is full of shit. The big liberal
cause these days is just to keep Bush in check.

Yes, aren't these the same people that two weeks ago were screaming at
the "liberals" for gross exaggeration?
How times change.

Democrats have been under attack from the GOP for years, more so in the
last six, and have survived. It's so much better to be looking who gets
rewarded as the victorious party than who to blame from the losers. That
looks like a game you can play for several years to come. Maybe start at
the top and work down..........if there is any lower to go.
