Ruben Bolling gets it: In the
current Tom the Dancing Bug, we see how absurd it was to chide Democrats for not having an economic vision/program. The Democrats were opposed to Bush's tax cut, but the punditocracy demanded that the Democrats do more. But why? If the Republican policy is unwise, reversing it should be enough. There is no automatic requirement for Democrats to come up with an alternate policy. Yet the notion of no-policy-Democrats-are-inadequate was widely accepted.
These days, when reading about politics (not unlike an Ann Coulter book) you have to
challenge every single word.
