Reply #38: A winner!

Although I don't know the poster you're referring to, I agree with both of you. It's the issues! As the republicans prepared to morph our tax code into yet another regressive gift to the rich, as Cheney continues to advocate for torture, and as bush continues his macho-unilateral foreign policy, we need to be fighting, not each other, but the right-wing agenda.

Democrats who agree with the right, who are too willing to compromise American principles, or who wait for the next poll, need to be pressured or called-out, because they stand in the way of our future and squander our lives and livelihoods.

Knowing what we, the netroots, stand for, enables us to have our voices heard. Without focus on the issues, how will we develop a clarion call as opposed to a grumble of confusion? Supporting those who support our positions is doable if we suppress the desire to spin.
