Reply #61: Democratic Party has failed to protect the Constitution and defend our freedoms!

[IndianaGreen]

The crime scene in which the Constitution was slain is covered with bipartisan fingerprints. The Democratic establishment has protected the Bush regime by putting impeachment off the table, has voted to do away with habeas corpus, has given the government the power to spy on its citizens, has given immunity to corporations that collaborate with the government gathering information on law abiding citizens, has given its imprimatur to rendition and torture, and has voted overwhelmingly to give Bush the go-ahead for war against Iran.

When it comes to the Constitution and our freedoms, the two-party system has been a miserable failure.

As to OP itself:

1. Joe Lieberman was rewarded with the chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. It is now considering a proposal by Jane Harman to further infringe our freedoms, all for the sake of national security, whatever that means anymore.

2. Ron Paul has said that he won't support the GOP nominee, but he has also said that he won't run as an independent.

3. Dennis Kucinich has not said anything about running as an independent. His wife is entitled to her opinion.

4. There is a good likelihood that there will be an independent challenge to the 2-party nominees, but it won't come from the Left, but from the Center. Can we say Michael Bloomberg or Lou Dobbs?
