Why are Democrats afraid to represent the majority of Americans who KNOW we need a re-adjusted income tax and Universal Health Care, Single Payer Style? And we also KNOW that Daschle will be likely to swing that Health Care reform back into the arms of his Corporate Buddies.

Other things that the majority of Americans want, er, that we leftists want is for the Ending both wars, as we really do not have the funds to do war any more.

And right now, above all, being smart about the economy. Geithner, Rubin et al helped create this economic problem - and for that reason alone should not be allowed a position in the Obama administration

Those of us to the left are really not to the left - but we are demonized by the Oil and Big Money beholding media. And by the "centrists" that have controlled the Democratic party for far too long.

Yet if it was not for the majority of Americans, er us lefties, the 2006 election would not have offered the huge victory for the Democrats, who ran on a "leftist" platform o0f ending Iraq war and impeaching Bush.
