2. Sad but true. Republicans get it, we don't.
Republicans understand power. We might not like it when they have it, which is a lot, but we have to accept that they know what to do with it and we could learn a lesson or three.

Something we don't get is that "Because I can." is a valid reason.

3. This cartoon ignores the fact that many Dems are as corporatist as the GOP.
So... eh.

4. K&R
If only we had a 100% of the House and Senate, we might be able to keep our powder really dry. :sarcasm:

13. Well they sure do love their DLC politicians.
And if you would like for things to change, one of the ways to do that is to figure out why they are the way they are.

At least that's how it seems to me. YMMV obviously.

15. I don't have any names for you...
but apparently lots of people.

Lieberman was mostly saved by Republicans... but some Dems voted for him too... those are the ones who still for some inexplicable reason support DLCers.

I hope they're starting to wake up... we'll see.
