railing against the bad repukes while going along with almost every one of their proposals.

IF Obama and the Dems had come out with a real progressive agenda and pushed it, they could have easily painted the pukes as the party of the wealthy, defenders of the murderous insurance companies and banksters and Wall Street thieves. But they didn't.
