Letters to the Editor

    "The Democratic Party is woefully inefficient at framing issues."

    The failings of the Democratic Congress have nothing to do with framing of issues but have everything to do with a lack of convictions and spine.

I can think of no carefully nuanced frames that would not detract from the meaning and power of such simple statements.
