It's time to learn the difference between selling out and compromising to get the best you can while continuing to work for progressive goals.

The fact though is that there are times where "corporate interests" coincide with the interests of their states. Witness the fact that both Franken, Sherrod Brown, and Feingold signed the letter asking that the climate change legislation not disadvantage coal.

Dem agenda. No one berates him for his voting record here, though. It's pretty easy to maintain a pure record of having never compromised if all you do is vote no on things like tax cuts for the middle class and checks for old ladies in regard to COLA. But it achieves nothing. Which is probably why he's unemployed come January. He's kind of the anti-Obama, but more to DU's liking in his supreme ineffectiveness.
