I agree with you.
I would love to see DC Democrats actually represent the left - instead of being waterboys/girls for the right. We keep talking about Saint Ronnie isn't far enough to the right to be part of today's republican party...the same could be said about BHO or Harry Reid. These guys have crept to the right so much that, while they're still on the left of the viable American political establishment, they're nowhere near what we know as being left.
It's not like they're DINOs...it's more like they're DRTR (Democrats Relative to Republicans)...certainly NOT true democrats committed to retaining our progressive traditions.
Anyway - apologies if my sarcasm hit the wrong spot.
