Reply #127: So, what's your plan to move the party to the left? [View All]

How's it working? You want to move the party to the left? Make your vote costly. Make them work for it rather than take it for granted because the Democrat isn't "as bad as" the Republican.

Your defense of the Democrats who voted for the war is naive at best. What did they think all those troops were doing in Iraq? Picking their noses and getting a tan? Kerry offered more of the same in Iraq. The Democratic "leaders" backed him in his "plan" for more troops.

Now they talk about the necessity of "reaching out to the middle" by watering down abortion rights, gun control, environmental protection, separation of church and state, globalization, social security, and every other thing that the people forced them to put into place.

Just look at the new minority leader in the senate. Harry Reid is "pro life", against gun control, voted for the war.

I call it appeasement.

But, get back to me when reforming the party by complaining to the bigshots has some effect. Been there done that, for decades.
