| Why Are Democratic Leaders Endorsing A Republican Standard? |

Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 02:50 PM by KingOfLostSouls
watching Meet the Press, this fucker from the wall street journal is sitting here smirking how democrats are saying republicans are right.
ugh, time to shoot the tv.
harold ford on carrying water for the GOP also.
3 republican standard bearers vs anthony weiner laying it out how democrats need to stand on their principles. which is true. people don't respect someone without any principles.

| 3. You know, I'm sick of seeing this type of question on DU forums. |
|
Dems have been selecting their candidates from among the wealthy and those connected to Wall Street for decades now, particularly to avoid dealing with the high cost of running campaigns. Also, they have winked at the wealth accummulated in office by the few elected officials who had none to start with.
Look in the mirror, people.

| 7. To me, this is the serious long term |
|
damage that gets done whenever we 'compromise' or suppport a 'bipartisan' bill.
It gives credibility to GOP ideas, it tells the electorate that Republican ideas are worth considering and voting for.

At the top of both parties is a meeting of the minds - it is all really about us having not two parties but
ONE BIG MONEY PARTY!
We must work to rebuild this party of ours from the ground up. We could start this by insisting we have
Grayson/Feingold in 2012!
That would be a dream ticket and would send a clear message to those who have turned this party of ours inside out.
