Daily Kos: Bush is at 37%. In Indiana.:
Democrats have to create positives for themselves, by fighting Republican excesses and stupidity. They have to formulate plans, put them into action, and make changes. It's hard to do as a minority party, but far from impossible. And so long as anyone can portray Democrats as "not having a plan," they will be cursed to approval ratings of Republicans - 10%, instead of their rightful place as 1 / Republicans.

The president's approval rating equals the 37 percent approval rating Hoosiers gave President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, back in August 1994. And the rating mirrors the national view of the president. A recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll showed the president's approval rating nationwide at 38 percent.The problem with this is, just because 56% of Hoosiers think Bush is a nincompoop doesn't in any way mean they're likely to vote for a Democrat. Negatives for Republicans do not translate to positives for Democrats. I bet the simple thought process underlying the republican vote is, "Well, our candidate may be an idiot, but he's all we've got!"

The GOP was the minority party for a very long time, and ever since Regan they've been doing all out war on the Democrats. The GOP has not been the same party since the 80's, it's a new breed called neo-cons and trying to beat them using old tactics isn't going to work. ... And it will NOT work to lie down and vote WITH the GOP (::cough:: DLC)
So what do we need to do? Start fighting for fucks sake, Dems! The Republicans turned themselves around by being ruthlessly partisan, it's sad I know, but you CANNONT win against that by cozying up to it, cause they're still gonna cut your throat in the end. Start fighting and keep at it and in a few years you'll be winning again since people will see you actually stand for something.
