It is critical that Democrats and other Progressives demand the President move left. [View All]

[Scuba]

I voted for Barack Obama in 2008 because he espoused a Progressive agenda - end wars, single-payer healthcare, fair taxation policy, etc.

When dealing with right-wingers and Gallop-style pollsters I still defend the President with vigor.

But fact is I'm bitterly disappointed and think it is critical that Democrats and other Progressives demand the president take an about turn on policy. Not baby steps. Take off the gloves and fight for the American People. If he doesn't do this - and very soon - he should be primaried from the left.

Three more years of DINO behavior followed by two years of lame-ducking is not what I signed on for, and I will not support it in 2012.


The future of America - you know, the People - depends on it.
