444. Exactly, though this administration has that effect on many.
Particularly in the environmental field (of which I am a part). Many wanted real change... regarding enviro protection, energy, conservation efforts, etc, etc, etc. But every time it was pushed for the enviros were told to be patient. (Wait... this sounds familiar...)

Oh and when they would make policy changes that were definitely NOT ecofriendly and the enviros would object, they were told that they were being too idealistic and that they needed to compromise. (WAIT... this sounds familiar too!)

Environmental groups and HRC have fallen into the same trap that many democrats have. Too easily placated. Too inert. We don't have someone in the White House overtly attacking us and we are supposed to be grateful for it. Forget about having our issues actually ADVOCATED for. That would go too far... :eyes:
