"New Direction" Is It?

Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with USA Today outlines the Democrats strategy to win back Congress this fall:
WASHINGTON — Democratic House and Senate leaders are planning to reduce the cost of student loans and prescription drugs, raise the minimum wage and launch an effort to develop alternative fuels if they win back control of Congress.
Hmmmm... Nothing about the war? Nothing about immigration? They do mention this as part of their platform:
The agenda also calls for enacting recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, formed after the 2001 terror attacks, to boost national security and funding for it, and for eliminating about $18 billion in tax breaks and subsidies for oil companies. Pelosi said savings would go to develop alternative fuels.
That's what we call playing defense -- it's a complete loser. It took then this long to come up with this brillant plan (they've been promising to unviel their strategy since last year)? It's looking more and more like the Republicans are going to have an easier time retaining their majorities than was believed just a short time ago.
