On the other hand the democrats talked of getting us out of Iraq and in general cleaning up Bush's mess, but Congress hasn't done either one and have pretty much stated that they won't even consider the issue and leave it up to the next president. They are also the one's that overturned the DC handgun ban and spoke up for 2nd amendment issues, as was pointed out, which liberals as a group generally lean against.
So really the point is that they do whatever is politically convenient at the time, not what their ideals are supposed to be about.
