Mike Malloy is right
There is no Democratic party

It took my Senator Barbara Boxer to have the courage to tell them to shove it

As far as Biden, Dodd, etc. THEY STAND FOR NOTHING

If they vote for incompentence, THEY ARE INCOMPENTENT

We need to vote these people OUT

Otherwise, Nader is right, there is no difference

2. AND that goes as well for the ones who did NOTHING about voting fraud

and who signed onto the Iraq War. There have also been numerous supposed investigations that come and then disappear. They throw out some chum to excite the sharks, but nothing ever comes of it.

My conclusion is that there is a contingency of Dems who belong to an elite class that has NO party per se. Only a desire for global dominance. They seem to be playing 'good cop, bad cop' with us in collaboration with the GOP.

4. EXACTLY....they are just as incompetent and have condemned themselves
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 11:51 AM by ElsewheresDaughter
with their own words and vote....they are SPINELESS and there is NO difference!...only a few which i can count on 1 hand represent the democratic values. Boxer, Kerry and Byrd on that hand.

5. No, Nader isnt right, you are both way off.

There is a massive difference between the two partiers regardless of what you, nader, and the rest of the oversimplifying, overgeneralizing, exagerators out there would like us to think.

The problem isnt that our party is full of politicians, its that the left is massively underepresented, and our politicians are under the impression that the left cant support them.

All we need to do is prove that progressive attitudes and actions can win people elections and the politicians will come flocking.

We dont live in a utopia people, cope. Stop using utopian ideals and absolutes to judge the people living in what is a deeply flawed and diseased system.

Ideals should be our goals, not our expectations.

6. I believe that you are quite correct ...
in the sense that, when progressives stand tall, together, and loudly proclaim their values, again and again, then politicians will start speaking up too, feeling that they have the needed support.
