Clinton: Stand and fight

Rallying our troops:

[Bill] Clinton attributes the Republican control of Congress to the inability or unwillingness of Democratic candidates to "stand up and be heard" on issues that matter to people.

Clinton specifically cites abortion. He says Democrats too often are unwilling to talk about the issue because they're afraid of hostile reactions from anti-abortion groups.

The former president says Democrats also need to fight back against personal attacks from conservatives if they want to regain power. As he puts it, "If you don't want to fight for the future and you can't figure out how to beat these people then find something else to do."
