Democrats Act As A Caucus, Republicans Act As A Party

Given the revelations in the Sunday, March 11th Washington Post on the House Democrats' divisions on Iraq, there is growing reason to doubt anything effective will be done by the new Democratic Congress, despite its November victory, to end the war in Iraq, or, according to late reports, do anything to prevent an attack on Iran.  

There is a particularly distressing aspect to the current "debate"  among Democrats in the House of Representatives on what to do.  As party we do not seem to be able to learn from the successes of conservatives.    A major reason Republicans are so united and disciplined is that their leaders are not afraid of going to their rank and file to discipline errant members.    

Democrats in Congress are acting as a caucus:  Republicans are acting as a party.    This is a major reason why they win.
