and too many Democrats are abandoning the basic idea of protecting the little guy from abuse. I don't want (some of) these people out of office, but I do want them to SHAPE UP and that will only happen if their base raises hell and they realize they might lose votes if they don't shape up.

There are too many who have been saying one thing on the campaign trail to the base, then doing the opposite in votes. I'm actually easier on the ones who fess up to their beliefs and still get elected than I am on the ones who act like big Dems on the trail, then don't stick with the party when it comes to protecting average Americans.

This bankruptcy issue and the class action bill are CLASSIC big business vs average American and I am damned tired of Democrats not sticking together to protect the little guy. Protecting average Americans from abuse is supposed to be a fundamental tenet of our party.

The people I get really ticked at are Democrats from bright BLUE states who don't stick with us. I cut the people from red states and purple states more slack.
