those who seem to want progressives to leave the party.
Basically, we've been conned and hi-jacked. Yet, people are afraid to try to fight for our own values. The public option didn't even have a chance. Mandates were thrown in right away too. That is the exact opposite of what we were told would happen.
If we don't keep raising hell until they either fix this bill or kill it, we'll never have a chance for real change again in our lifetimes. Our country will be conservative forever and war will never end and people will work harder and harder for less and less.
I say we keep raising hell even if that is all we can do for now. It's better than laying down and taking it.

This is true. Unfortunately, as we see with war and HCR, our principles change daily. |

When you have to compare yourself to wingnuts, you've lost your way. |
