Legit Question~ when did it become a plank of the Democratic Party to capitulate to GOP demands?
Don't think for one minute activists aren't asking themselves this and saying to themselves :WTF is the point of me and my family giving of our time and money and seeing this as the result; 'this' isn't just the past month, it's issue after issue after issue the Dems take a beating or as a group of politicians say - uhh, can't be done, or wait, just wait, or keeping our powder dry be patient.

A major defeat will be the only thing that wakes them up - Mondale in reverse which sparked the rise of the DLC - if you don't like the direction of the corporate takeover of the Democratic Party it has to suffer a huge defeat and be tagged as a defeat BECAUSE it was taken over by corporate special interests who got our Democratic pols addicted to their campaign cash.

You vote for them again when you hate what they have done to this once great Party - you are enabling them and allowing the Democratic Party to morph into the Republican Party without the religious loons

And that canard about the Supreme Court?

The way Obama is going, if he wins again and gets to make another appointment - he'll give it to the GOP in the 'spirit of bi-partisanship".

Don't say you weren't warned.

1. Hope and change:
I hope Obama grows some balls.

2. exactly, but of course we can't even consider voting third party
and of course the Repub candidate will be "SO MUCH WORSE"... though really, Obama seems to be a more smooth talking version of Bush

3. Ever since we nominated a Republican in our Democratic Primaries
False flag operations are fun! (and profitable)

5. that's a good way to think of it
