Reply #112: Will the Dems stand up to what?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

For the most part the party has stood up...we are stuck with a few Dems from mostly red states such as Evan Bayh, Zell Miller who votes with Repubs most of the time, BReaux and Landrieu...and others in congress with similar districts...again...the populace plays a large part of it as well.

And 08 is a long way away...but for the most part I have seen people judge Kerry on three votes which occurred during the most unique of times:

The Patriot Act..which even Wellstone voted for.

NCLB..which was NOT funded (even though the program itself stinks and leads to kids being PUSHED out of schools)

and IWR...a resolution which was voted on after a few turncoats..Lieberman, Bayh and Gep...undermined Biden/Lugar...even WITH or WITHOUT those votes...Bush would have gone to war...he was hell bent on war...the only thing the resolution did was make the start of the war more predictable.
