that it not only has no backbone, but that it has no principles either.

if they want to move further to the right, that's fine. but this will kill them in the mid-terms.

right now, they have their best opportunity to define the differences between republicans and themselves. we're the party that stands up for the little guy, the party that doesn't want the country hijacked by pharisees, the party that still believes america shouldn't be sold to the highest bidder.

instead, it looks like they want to adopt a "me, too" attitude. or become republican lite.

unfortunately, they think they can count on my vote if they do that. but i'll keep my ass at home next election day. i won't vote democrat just because they're not republicans. i simply won't vote.

or i'll gladly vote for a third party led by someone like howard dean. granted, the next big chance for us to speak is more than 22 months away. but if they didn't learn anything from what we just went through, then screw 'em. before they screw us.
