Democrats will release their comprehensive plan most likely in January.

This is a little early but so many people are calling for one they've decided it needs to come out soon.

It better cover everything...since the Dems haven't really had one since 1994. Tongue

Neither have Republicans.

TV interviews and the internet. Howard Dean said in the past week it is coming "very soon". However, I don't see them releasing it before Christmas.

By 'internet' do you mean sites like DailyKos as opposed to more mainstream news sources? 

DailyKos uses links to "mainstream" sources. I wish you would quit spouting the meme that just because it came from Daily Kos makes it "not credible".  Daily Kos doesn't report its own news, it almost always links to other news sources and comments on them.

And actually, I don't remember where I saw it on the internet.

Oh, they've had one...you may not like it, but they've had a plan. Tongue

What plan are you talking about? Lower taxes, privatize everything, free trade, corporate welfare?

Can you say they have failed to achieve it? Tongue

They've made significant progress in all four.

How about this for a Democratic plan? Energy independence, fiscal responsibility, universal healthcare, honest and open government, ethics reform, investment in emerging economic industries, and flexible plan for withdrawal from Iraq.

It sounds better than the void they have so far. The devil is in the details, of course. Wink

I think the Democratic plan will be somewhat similar to what I just laid out, with a surprise or two thrown in, while universal healthcare may or may not be included.

The foreign policy bit will be important to see the details of, for certain. Of course, I'll be interested in seeing just what Democratic foreign policy is, since I have no idea at the moment. Tongue

Alright, Mr. Democrat-basher, then what is the Republican foreign policy? Do we really know?
