with both lower houses controlled by Republicans.

I have worked in the field of policy for over 22 years. The Democratic party HAS always had interests competing with one another...what the environmentalists might be pleased by might harm the unions ( a great example is CAFE standards) BTW...when Dennis voted for the flag amendment or voted against a woman's right to choose...was he really doing better than his colleagues on THOSE matters? When Dean negotiated a business development deal behind the backs of environmentalists in VT and locked them out was he REALLY doing better than most Dems? My point isn't to bash them but to raise the spectre of their imperfections as well...even though I raise that spectre...had they won the nomination I would NOT behave like a childish little brat...or as GB Shaw out it..."a selfish heaping clod of ailments complaining that the world will not devote itself to making me happy."

On that which the Dems have held the line the past few years, I give them credit. Am I happy with every vote they've placed or every stand they've taken? NO.

On the other hand, the manner in which this admin has manipulated and bullied thier way to policy was like hurling turds out of a tennis ball machine at 90 miles an hour non stop...I would LOVE to see anyone stand up to it consistently...after living through it...they were aided by a VERY biased pro war anti consumer media as well.
