7. Agreed. The spineless wimps in congress were his predecessor's
fault and we can't blame him for a bunch of toadying appeasers any more than we can blame him for the myopic programs on the DLC website.

The mess the party is in took decades to make and he's not going to be able to clean it up in less than a year. Part of it is up to us, anyway, since we're the ones responsible for getting this current crop of limp bastards out of Congress via the election.

Yes, there are exceptions like Feingold, Boxer, Kerry, Conyers, and others. However, the DLC weenies are every bit as big a problem in Congress as the GOP they side with is, and probably more of a problem when we consider the party's future. Nobody's going to vote for a party that refuses to stand up for them.

If you love your government, vote for the incumbents. If you don't, vote the bastards OUT. However, don't stiff the entire party. Contribute to progressive candidates wheever you find them. Make your money matter.
