Sell-out Democrats

now they are at Bush's mercy becuase they have yet to articulate just how they are different - if at all from - Republicans, and dont talk about saving social security or gay rights, those are not the imparitive things that will determine history. Combating the neoCons' desire for American hegemony was what the election should have been about, let those democrats go be republicans, and stop placating them for there corporate dollars, it can be won a different way. Let Lieberman and Zell go be conservative. Stop trying to playcate them, let them go.

Elijah Cummings (who i did not vote for, but is my rep) was on ESPN last night worried about steroids. That is my maryland rep, and he was among the yeas in this issue of another 80 Billion dollar spending suplemental to fund the wars and rebuildings of Iraq and Afghanistan. Why do Democrats continue to worry about Social Security? Whay can they not try and get on TV to protest the appointment of Paul Wlofowitz to head the World Bank?

Yeah I know. Cash.

I guess i just dont understand why we continue to appologize for strategic democratic failures by continuing to elect them for reasons they have no real attatchment to.

it is not different than those constantly voting for Bush and other Republicans becuase they think he will keep gays from getting married and make abortion illegal. They dont represent us, so why should we let them?

Certainly there are exceptions to this general rancor towards the Democratic Party, but they must be held accountable for running away from the anti-war wing of the party in the election and they continue to run to the middle.

Hold the Democrats accountable, start thinking independantly. Start looking for ways to activate your political power without the umbrage of an institional party. Force them to deal with the peace movement in a peaceful way.
