RealClearPolitics - Commentary - Have The Democrats Walked Into a Trap......Again? by John McIntyre: "With their publicly defeatist language, John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean reinforce these 'soft on security' steroretypes, a weakness that more sober-minded Democrats have been trying to mitigate since the late 60's and 70's. Unfortunately, this mentality dominates the Democrats' political base and more accurately represents where the heart and soul of the modern Democratic party lies than the very tiny sliver of Joe Lieberman Democrats. The Party of FDR, Truman and John Kennedy -- at least on foreign policy -- is clearly no more. "
