Reply #6: This is being called "compromise" around here

[zipplewrath]

I keep getting told that the progressives won't recognize that he "compromised" with us. I keep trying to explain, it wasn't compromise, it was a rejection.

Obama has personally admitted that this is basically a 15 year old GOP/Dole/Baker bill, but I keep getting told it is some sort of "progressive issue being addressed".

Obama calls it "rejecting the provisions" and yet I'm told around here that we weren't rejected.

Rahm calls us "retarded", but supposedly the White House "tried to meet us halfway".

Let me be clear. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is dead. We are being rejected and we are without representation within the party. They use us as a fund raising instrument only. The DCCC/DSCC tries to keep us out of primaries. The party doesn't want us and is clearly "rejecting" us.
