Where do we go from here?

Bob Herbert's NYT column, Get It Together, Democrats (Via Truthout), correctly counsels the Democrats to get it together, decide where the Party stands on the issues as a party & disseminate it to the public in a clear, coherent manner. As Herbert put it, "What Democrats have to do is get over their timidity, look deep into their own souls, discover what they truly believe and then tell it like it is. . . .Democrats are still agonizing over whether to say what they truly believe or try to present themselves as a somewhat lighter version of the G.O.P."

Basta, already. The time has come to decide where we stand and stand up and say it. Say it loud and clear. After we have the party celebrating the decline & fall of the other party, of course.
