10. I'm Completely Baffled Why This ...

...would even be an issue. There are no words to describe how I (and many others) would feel of the President caves on this issue. These safety nets are the hallmark of our party and define us.

I know that there are some DU members that find this position extreme. That only tells me that they have no idea what it means to be a Democrat.

I am already scared that the President will negotiate these safety nets away. If he chooses to do this, I will flood this board with criticism until I am removed.

There is no compromise when it comes to the programs that put the people ahead of the filthy rich.
