the result of being "sold out" or "spineless", etc.

I haven't used those terms myself with regard to our Democratic Senators.

But it may be that it would take a great deal of courage in today's circumstances to go with the right strategy, i.e., the right strategy in terms of what's best for our country. By playing it safe and not making waves, some Democratic Senators may be taking a course that is designed to safeguard risks to their career, but it may be bad strategy with respect to what's best for our country.

I believe, for example that censuring, or even attempting to censure Bush, is best for our country, because the public's attention needs to be drawn to that, given the utter failure of our corporate media to do that. But it could be risky (or perceived as risky) to a Senator's career, and that may be the reason that there isn't more support for a censure resolution.

Anyhow, I think that something like this is what most critics of our Democratic Senators have in mind when they use abusive terms to describe them.
