How many battles must be lost before you win the "war"?

Edited on Mon Aug-01-11 08:35 AM by Roy Rolling

If the "war" is simply to get Obama re-elected I will not support this fight. This battle is about progressive values versus ultra-conservative values that have hijacked the Republican party. It is about progressive versus regressive---turning back the clock on progress.

So if Democratic politicians negotiate by giving up everything of value along the way to the hollow goal of an Obama re-election they are giving up everything that defines a progressive society. They may end up with an Obama presidency presiding over a Herbert Hoover society.
