never forget that labor has been the backbone of the democratic party for generations....

Labor has delivered for the democrats throughout my voting life and longer. Now is the time for democrats in the white house and congress to stand up for labor! Where is the solidarity? Where are the calls to organize and resist these attacks against working Americans?

1. Yeah, but you gotta remember that we gotta compete for the future...

which means being buddies with guys who are gonna pay us a fortune when we become lobbyists!

2. Is this where the pendulum swings back?

The point where Joe the REAL Plumber (union member) realizes that the Republicans have been taking him for a ride since the Nixon administration?

4. K&R- We did not leave the Democratic Party-They left US!

I support local and regional Democratic candidates and those few I know who still are concerned with working people and the left/progressives, but the rest of the Party can go shit in its hat.

5. Hear, hear...

...and people wonder why some of us are disenchanted with the Democratic party of today.

Bought and paid for, just like the Republicans. Truly better on a lot of issues, still, but really just kinder, gentler corporatists.

Good cop / bad cop. The good cops get to act all nice, while the bad cops get to act like bullies. But when they aren't dealing with the public facade, they're both working for the same interests. And it ain't us little people.

There are a few honorable exceptions to this reality, but only a few.

Corrupt. to. the. core.
