What will the Democrats do?

I was listening to a debate I think it was on CNN. The emphasis of the debate was how qualified Hillary Clinton was to lead the country based on her own statements of how she had helped lead the country during her husband’s tenure. There was a Republican debator, and a Democrat debator. The first words out of the Democrat’s mouth was stating that Hillary had more experience than Bush, who has gotten us into two wars and tarnished the US’s international reputation. To this debator, Hillary’s own words were completely irrelevant. It didn’t matter what Hillary had said so long as she can recite the words “has gotten us into two wars and tarnished the US’s international reputation” yet again. Although I made no effort to remember who either debator was, I do remember the title no Democrat can seem to live without. This has tugged at me for a couple of years now. What are the Democrats going to do the day after Bush is out of office? They will have nothing to hang their mantra on. And, I’m quite certain in very short time the entire US public will tire of a failed president who’s only claim to success would be that they didn’t get us into two wars and tarnish the US’s reputation.
Got news for that debator, and Howard Dean too, I think the US is already tired of that recital and looking desperately for a candidate that has their own song. Namely, I’ll wager a bet right now that more people are concerned with our economy than they are the two wars and a tarnished reputation.
What really amazes me is that is the exact same song John Kerry sang four years ago.
What do you think?
