53. Corporate Agenda is Destroying the Party
The democrat party has all the ammunition it needs to go after the GOP and win on jobs and outsourcing, but the democrats are afraid to stand up against corporate intersts and fight. I recall in the second debate that Kerry was asked about outsourcing. He said that he was going to do an immediate study to examine it and in the same breath said that he knew he would not be able to stop it. It was a half measure and it conveyed a message of weakness. He said he would do something, but he wasn't willing to draw blood. This is because of the corporate agenda. Fuck corporate America...they have enough already. This is an issue with two clearly defineable sides. But the democrats won't throw the punches because they are giving over to big business. If they don't fight for us then who is it we are supporting? I am a democratt because the party has always stood for the average persons interests. The impact of our party playing both sides is we lost the white house and became the minority in both houses. We don't need another party to pander to big business. The republicans are doing more than their share and it is all at our expense. The democrats need to stand up boldly for the middle class now or we are going to lose everything.
