"There is nothing more useless and pathetic than a democrat who won't fight for working people"

[rndmprsn]

i said that just this morning to a co-worker of mine...and i mean it, just thought i'd share =]

1. Since so many fall into that category, what do you think we should do about it?

Could we be seeing a replay of the 20s - 30s?

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. .and your co-worker's response...? n/t

[rndmprsn]

4. she was an older lady, and was telling me about the party back in the 40's, 50's and 60's

and how things have changed so much with the democratic party, you used to know that they were fighting for you and how that was the path to electoral majorities...they got bogged down in so called social/cultural issues, then came the rise of the "new" democrats which she called corporatist, etc...

[Totally Committed]

8. She was absolutely correct!

I remember the Party as far back as the 50's, and those Democrats were bulldgs for the working-class and the poor. She's correct as she can be.

3. There's no bigger fraud, either...

...ok, well there are probably bigger frauds, but still...they're really big ol' frauds. :-)

[Totally Committed]

5. That's the way I see it, too.

And, those Democrats who ignore us after we elect them need to be GONE the very next election.

6. We better have someone to replace them with if that is the case! An alternative that can be "elected

[Totally Committed]

7. I agree, saracat!

I supported Lamont only to have my own Party circumvent the whole system and reinstate Lieberman against the Democratic nominee. That should have worked. If it did, we'd have a genuine Democratic vote in place of the Lieberman "caucus-with-the-Democrats-to-keep-my-seniority-but-vote-with-the-Republicans-to-satisfy-AIPAC" brand of "Independent".

They need to know we mean business when we nominate a candidate. So, we find good, decent REAL Democrats and run them against every stinking DINO as they come up for re-election. We won't win 'em all, but slowly and surely, we will make gains, and ANYONE who tries to circumvent our wishes or disregard our vote gets put on the list for replacement. Period. Zero-tolerance.

We gotta vote all the DINO/DLC/Blue Dogs out, and real honest-to-gawd Democrats in. Starting now.
