Reply #144: Perhaps we can restore the discussion as there is concern out there [View All]

Of course my concerns only reflect a growing discomfort for the marquee Dems (kudos to Maxine Waters for being real) who have capitulated with the BushCo agenda using such political rhetorical cover such as "our national interests" or "politically impractical."

It's not only disconcerting but it's consistency is alarming.

When the idea of winning political office is completely severed from the ideas that make winning worthwhile, then "winning" loses all meaning.

Thus, "pragmatism" now means diametric opposition from those who, in theory, could be progressive, as opposed to diametric opposition from true believers.

Since even educated people accept this false dichotomy, then the only sane conclusion is to say that, yes, the Democrats will continue to fool people. The result will continue to be as it has been for a generation now.
