In reply to the discussion: We need a new Democratic Party [View all]pattiepcomedy
(12 posts)The current Democratic party looks not much different than the Republican party - not enough public service but plenty of lip service.
Harry Reid was only worried about his own pocketbook when he decided not to change the rules of fillibuster so some work could finally be accomplished. I was curious also why President Obama upped the anty to $400,000 to have the tax cuts expire on. I think most of today's politicians are more worried about their future instead of working seriously on the job they were all elected to do for the majority of Americans
The past 10 years have shown that the Democratic party has changed and there is a definite brain drain when it comes to our local, state and federal representatives. To correct today's problems, we need people that are honest, smart and uncorruptible. And if there are none out there right now, we have to search until we find people that fit that bill.
