Instead, they delayed a vote on authorization of force for a long time, before finally voting FOR it. The same sort of thing holds true on the economy. They keep muttering that we need to roll back the tax cut, but they're not introducing legislation or doing anything else to solve the problem. What they should have done is come out in favor of the war from the start (allowing for a decent number of their colleages to disagree) and either shut the hell up about the economy or provided real solutions.They thus managed to present themselves as a party of grudging acquiesence, not something you look for in a leader.
