Democrats accused of lack of vision

House Democrats have voted with Republicans on several major bills this year, and Republicans say this indicates a lack of vision and agenda coming from Democratic leadership.

"What we're seeing is a pattern of bipartisanship, of Democrats lacking in agenda and their guys jumping over to the Republican vision of how we're running the country," said Ron Bonjean, spokesman for House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, Illinois Republican.

"It's clear that the Democrats have no agenda and what the pattern is beginning to show is that many rank-and-file Democrats are looking to the Republican agenda," said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican.

4. Hoyer's defense looks more like a confession...

"When the leader and I decide we want to see a unified Democratic message, we send it," Mr. Hoyer said. "The only real effort we made was on the budget ... and we got 100 percent against their budget."

2. No, that's what you get when politicians are bought off...

by corporate and fat cat donors who also control the media. These guys are so concerned about re-election and campaign contributions that they are voting with one eye on the oppositions campaign ads and the other on the Chamber of Commerce. The voters? Well, they can be convinced of almost anything with money and media.

3. We Are Not Permitted an Agenda

The Republicans own virtually all the news media, so only they are allowed an agenda.

Any possible Democratic agenda is not considered newsworthy.
