21. Why would any Democrat vote for a NAFTA supporter?
Edited on Mon Sep-10-07 07:14 AM by LWolf
I guess those are the people who support the transition of the Democratic Party from the party of labor, of social and economic justice, to the party of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation.

The transition is all but complete, with transitional people in key positions of power, and the die-hard liberal reps relegated to the "loony left fringe" wing of the party.

LABOR is now too "fringe" to get support.

If the Democratic Party is to have any relevance to the non-corporate people in the U.S., the voters will have to make the change. It won't happen in Washington. Tptb there have already shifted.

If voters want to make that change, they will stop electing candidates who will complete that transition, and start electing candidates who will fight for us. Not those who SAY they will; those with a strong record of doing just that during their time in office.

If Democratic voters don't have the courage to stand on principle, to stand and fight for the party, then the majority deserve what they get.

Why the hell would we expect our reps to stand and fight and work for change, if we won't?
