Democrats Have No Balls [View All]

[ulTRAX]

Reading some of the material from the Progressive movement of a century ago... http://www.populist.com/Populist.Reader.html it's clear that in comparing that movement to today's mainstream Democrats, the latter has been co-opted by special interests, money and they take their positions for granted. Add to that a blind belief that our nations MUST have an anti-democratic government because the Framers of the Constitution intended it to be so... the result is mainstream Democrats stand for little because they lack any guiding principles.

If most Democrats have such shallow convictions that they can not even take on the moral illegitimacy of the Electoral College that against the Will Of The People has brought the nation into the Bush Dark Ages... how are they EVER going to take on OTHER important issues? How are they going to educate and inspire the party faithful and all those non-voters to get passionate about taking this nation back from those who seek to dismantle whatever semblance of social justice we have left?

Then Democrats wonder why there are defections to Nader? Hell... I voted Nader in 96 and 2000. When I vote Democrat this year I'll be holding my nose.
