It Is Not Bush We Need To Worry About |
|
It is those slimy night-crawlers that have taken over our Democratic Party. The leadership who is selling out the middle and working class, the small business owner; those smiling con men who want us to wear our shoes out walking the streets for them, spending hour after hour on the telephone, sending in those small and large greenbacks. They are the ones we need to worry about. Because, if we don’t take back the party, or start another party, then all we are getting is a bunch of alley skulking sell-outs that will stick a knife in the back of working men and women.

5. They have the same goals. Steal the oil to keep our country solvent, |
|
turn the middle and lower classes into either cannon fodder or debtor slaves.

6. We get it. You converted. |
|
You don't need to start several threads over it.
I think things can change pretty quickly. Soon people will see that people are just as capable of influencing the process as corporations are.
People like Howard Dean, and now, the entire Democratic Party, completely owe us for their continued existence, because it is clear that corporate America has declared war on them.
Some of them are slower than others, and some have ill motives. Ultimately, people are going to want someone that stands up for them.
If a rep or Senator can't deliver for their Democratic constituents, we will find another.
It takes time, but I believe Bush has set in motion a progressive renaissance.
But have fun looking for that movement. We'll still be here when you get back.

8. Sorry, about the multiple post.. |
|
Did not realize there was a limit, either stated or in good taste...lord knows we need to stay within the limits of good taste...dont want the betters to think worse....
I am quits with the party that I have supported for many, many years. Today, they are little more than lackey's for the wealth of this country. So, I put a question to you:
Why continue to support someone who continues to sell you out? (really two questions) Why put your trust, money, work into a party that has been bought the same as the opposition party?
I derided G. Wallace when he said "there is not a nickles worth of difference between the Republican and Democratic party." God, how did a bigot get so smart?

9. Here's a clue...He didn't. |
|
There's tons of difference.
Your frustration clouds your judgement, as it did Wallace and Nader.
The Democratic Party is what we make it. A lot of people just woke up to the realities of corporate donorship and what it has done to the Party of the people.
We are taking it back, and it will be better than ever within probably as little as five years.
Have fun out in the wilderness in the meantime.
