The Congressional Progressive Caucus - representative of DU values?
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 11:45 AM by RiverStone
It seems more and more, the central hub of whatever mainstream Dems in America define as "Democratic" drift farther away from core values that many DU'ers share. On things such as choosing Hillary as their number one choice for President, on unequivocally ending any more funds to continue the occupation in Iraq, and on aggressively pursuing impeachment of Shrub, Shooter, or Gonzo - to name a few things - we differ from mainstream Dems. That is also reflected in many MSM polls.

Yet we are Democrats, and trying to define what this party is and the direction it is going is also part of the good fight. Do you think the CPC more closely represents our "wing" of the party on The Hill?
