Reply #2: He's not that bad on civil rights issues, that's for sure

He just sucks on economic issues that are becoming civil rights issues. I'm afraid we can't afford the DLC types any more, they have simply cost us too much in terms of holding down wages and empowering corporations. They've also cost us too much in terms of power, making sure we're shut out of all 3 branches of government.

Civil rights issues aren't enough, no matter which side of 'em you're on. The GOP had to promise the middle and working classes a few bait and switch tax reduction crumbs off the plutocrat's table. It's time for the Democrats to return to their roots and offer something a little more substantial.
