Democrats need to learn the blame game

James Carville says:

Democrats would not be playing the blame game with one another for the loss or for the healthcare debacle if they had only pointed fingers at those (or in this case, the one) who put Americans (and most of the world) in the predicament we’re in: George W. Bush.

The thesis is a simple one: the right point fringes, plat dirty and win without compunction.

The left need to learn to blame those responsible for the mess we're in. Building bridges with the right is a waste of time. They are the problem. They are the opponents of the common good. We have to say so. Loud, clear and often.

Healthcare has nothing to do with the Republicans or Bush. The Democrats have a filibuster-proof majority in both houses and a Democrat in the White House. It is their own party that they cannot control.

And the reason why they are running into problems is because a clear majority of the population are against what they are trying to do.
