Democratic Party where is the spine? Or will? Or brain to understand our Constitution and Bill of Rights? If the Democratic Party is paying for high dollar "consultants and pollsters" then it is our contributions that they are wasting or else why would Congressional approval ratings be this low? This is from the Rasmussen Report released on July 8, 2008:
The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category.
After capitulating to Mr. Bush's demands for unlimited power to spy on Americans merely on his word. I have read that Democrats on the Hill are ready to "negotiate" on opening up the coastal waters of America to oil and gas drilling.
This is not the "third way" or "triangulation" but out right betrayal of the Democratic party base.
My partner is fed up with Obama and his FISA capitulation and his "nuanced" position on abortion (his words give no comfort for the reproductive health of women).
As far as I can tell there is no Democratic Party leadership on the key issues that face this country.
Passage of another 160 billion dollar fake "emergency" spending bill for the illegal wars in Iraq/Afghanistan without any fight to put in place a "timetable" for withdrawl.
Passage of HR 6304- The FISA Amendments- which allows for a president to spy on Americans with the active and complete legal protections from citizens who feel that their fourth amendment right has been violated due to the drift net method of electronic surveillence that the CIA, FBI and NSA prefer. (Over 21,000 MyOb members strongly urged him not to capitulate.)
And now...talking about negotiating with the Republicans on opening up our coastal areas for oil and gas drilling?
It is enough to make one move to a country that is progressive and has national health care like...Germany or Switzerland!
