Perhaps what they're trying to do here is change the terms ... create a new political language where tax increases and government interference in business decisions isn't considered "liberal."

The more likely explanation is that they know they don't have the votes to deliver the true liberal goals of socialized medicine, eliminating the wage cap on Social Security taxes, more power to unions, killing talk radio, and destroying what we have of school choice.  So ... lay low until after 2008 when they have even more power!  Then stand back!

Democrats have been out of power for a dozen years.  They haven't waited on the sidelines all that time just so they could win and then govern just like Republicans.  Democrats have a leftist agenda and they intend to pursue it fully.  It's all in the timing.
