I am apalled by the Democrats constant surrender to the GOP. If this party moves even one iota more to the Right (any further right and this party will become the John Birch Society) I and millions of others will leave. A woman's right to make her own private medical decisions is not negotiable. Full equality for gays is not negotiable. Affirmative Action is not negotiable. The Democrats need to stop being the "me too" "at least we're not Republicans" Party and actually STAND FOR SOMETHING. Maybe this is our Barry Goldwater moment. Although he lost, he created a new conservative movement and gave the GOP their ideology and unity. We need a unifying ideology in this party. Stand up for nonprofit universal healthcare, stand up for more workers rights and living wage laws, stand up for an end to corproate welfare, and stand up against so called free trade and maybe this party will actually win an election. Take back the word LIBERAL and use it proudly! By surrendering on that word alone, we have aloud the Republicans to frame every debate and issue and we are always left chasing after them saying "me too me too!". If this party does not turn around drastically the Green party sounds like a nice alternative!
