His position changes after cashing out prove that.

Calling someone a good Democrat just because they have a D after their name is ridiculous. It makes me wonder where the line is for some people.

What would it take in your eyes to not be a good Democrat? Would an actual conviction of a crime finally be enough? No, I think for many the only thing that would make them retract such a statement would be the person changing the D to an R.

I keep hearing the claim that the DNC has front loaded the primaries to favor HRC. I was under the impression that the individual states set their primary dates, without Party input. Which is it?

He has the courage to be straight forward and tell the facts as they have been laid out. Some just won't accept the current political reality.

He has been one of my favorites for a very long time. Straight talker and not afraid to say what he means.

You can no longer be trusted.

Dean went even farther. He is now working against the Poor, Middle-class and small business in this country.

Done.

Our current political reality is stained... We are in the last half of a major battle for our future.... We have to use the existing tools at hand to win...Once we win, corrective change can be forced.

Changes have not occurred with Finance Reform... It just got worse instead of better. We now use all tools available to win, try and regain Congress so that we can fix the imbalance.

They are there to protect the Democratic Party from too much democracy. How much is to much? Any quantity that exceeds the minimum necessary to make it appear we are the prty that fights for the interests of ordinary people.
