Reply #8: Because they've allowed the Republicans to bully them....

[Jade Fox]

about this and everything else. They have bought the media garbage
about how this country has taken a sharp turn to the Right and the only
way Dems can win is by acting like water-down Republicans, even though
that strategy is a proven disater. In other words, just because they are
elected officials doesn't make them any smarter than the rest of the
population.

I'm hoping that in the long run one of the good things that will come out
of the Neocon nightmare of the last five years is a revitalized Democratic
Party. Let the spineless Dems be jetisoned, and good people take their
place.
