When Will Democrats Campaign On Their "Accomplishments"?

There are examples everywhere of Democrats saying they love Tea Party type things, that Democrats actually lowered taxes and that Republicans are evil in all forms and deeds, but where are the examples of Democrats proudly speaking of their "accomplishments"?

They must have at least a trillion examples. There must be a hundred thousand signs all over the nation's highways pointing us to their prosperity.

We do know that politicians such as Ohio's Governor Ted Strickland want people to believe that John Kasich's success in business is solely responsible for the failure of Strickland's economic policies. It is also a fact that Rep. Zack Space wants voters to know that Ohio St. Sen. Bob Gibb's is totally responsible for all the job losses in Ohio.

What we don't know is what beneficial things have occurred because of their votes for Cap and Trade, Health Care Reform, higher taxes, trillions of dollars of debt and all the other wonderful things they have accomplished.

When will Democrats actually campaign on their accomplishments? Oh, there are always the warm and fuzzy ads that will ramp up right before the election. Everyone has seen them. Maybe this year Democrats will gather their families in front of a bio-fuel fireplace to read the wonders of progressive policy and bask in the warmth of their deeds.

I doubt they'll notice the faces peering in the windows worn with fear, unemployment and ruined futures. And anger.
