Well it appears that another Democrat is saying "vote for us, we'll make things better", but without a tangible plan. I'll be happy to work with Democrats, if they actually bring something to the table. For example, let's take a look at one of Democratic hopeful Jim Webb's quotes.
"A Democratic Congress will demand from day one that the president find a real way forward in Iraq. We'll work with the administration and other Republicans to develop a concrete plan, but none of us are ready to settle for empty rhetoric, or the same old unacceptable results."
So first, he wants the Democrats to control Congress. Fair enough, but in the next sentence, he states that the Democrats will work with President Bush and other Republicans on a "concrete plan" and that "none of us are ready to settle for empty rhetoric" But yet, over the past few years, all we've heard from the Democrats is "empty rhetoric".
James Webb is not without his own controversies. But, I'd be happy to listen to anyone, Democrat or Republican, with ideas on how to make things in Iraq better, I just don't think that when you have American soldiers dying, that you hold your ideas until election day. If you were truly going to "work with the administration and other Republicans", you'd do it right away, instead of holding onto it, if "it" even exists.
This just reeks of John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid when he tried to state that, if elected, he would make the world all sunshine and rainbows without actually offering anything of worth to the table.
