This is, unfortunately, true (via AMERICAblog).

Sirota:

Democratic strategist David Sirota said the Schiavo case creates three impressions. "Firstly, Republicans are zealots," he said. "Secondly, where the hell are the Democrats? And thirdly, well, at least the zealots believe in something strongly. And that's the problem for Democrats right now on this issue, and a whole host of others. The party seems unwilling to stand up for anything controversial."

"The calculus by Democrats is that they don't want to offend anyone," Sirota said. "But in trying not to offend anyone, they lose support from everyone. What many Democrats haven't yet learned from Republicans is that it is better to be loved by some, and hated by others, than try to be liked by everyone. Because when you do that, you are liked by no one."

The Democrats have public opinion on their side, though you'd never know it from watching television, it's time for a major Dem to stand up and say this is wrong.

Maybe they could take a cue from Rep. Christopher Shays, New York (R):

This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy.

Touche.
