Most want to fight, but the leadership wants to give in to the demands of the Republicans. The leadership wants to water down the definition of pro-choice, they want gays to go back into the closet but not close the door.

What the leadership should be doing is to lead, they should be pointing out that pro-life, at least the true definition of the term,
means from birth to adult hood, not protection for the fetus and then wipe out any and all social programs that can help the child.

What the leadership needs to do is to point out that gays getting married isn't a danger to heterosexual marriages.

Being a former soldier, I would not obey the orders of a commander who told me to surrender when I still had the means to resist, worst
case I would shoot him on the battlefield for cowardice, and continue to fight. Well we can't do anything like that to the leadership of the Democratic party, and we sure as hell don't want to surrender when we still have the means to resist.

If we can get rid of the cowards who want to surrender, and put those that will fight with us, then we should stay, but we "troops"
are only asked for an opinion when the leadership wants money come election time.

I say we need to get rid of those who would sell us out, and place real leaders in charge, tell us how we can do it, and I'm sure we'll stay.
