While it's certainly the case that on many issues the Democrats should wait until we get a little closer to '06 before announcing a grand policy agenda, they would be well-served to start talking very very loudly about this horrible Republican medicare drug plan. This is the kind of plan you'd get if you locked hat, cog, and Toby in the room with Grover Norquist and a pharmaceutical executive and told them that they had to create one. It's awful. It's horrible. It's confusing. It's expensive. It's a disaster.
The Dems need to make sure people understand whose plan this was, and how if they were in power they can and would pass legislation in about 5 seconds to make it better.
