Reply #4: On some issues, there is a clear difference. On others, NONE.

The "Patriot Act" seems like a big deal to me. A bunch of Democrats stood up, and publicly fussed about it; then, when no one was looking, they voted for it with minimal changes.

Remember the last Supreme Court Justice? How many voted to support the only thing that would stop him -- a filibuster? But afterward they were able to say "we voted against him" (even though we knew it was only an empty gesture)?

Yes, Pro-Choice Democrats say so publicly; and then they don't do EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to stop abominations like the rider that was aimed at Planned Parenthood.

The list goes on. If its useless to be a Democratic Senator because you can't fight against a Republican majority, then what is the fricking point???
