1. Sadly, I tend to agree with him. The Democrats on the Hill have

tried so hard to appease the GOP, it gives Mahr fodder.

3. Appeasing the GOP is only part of it (and mostly cover)...

...mostly its about back-scratching big donors and their lobbyists.

2. Bill was correct last week, and he's nailed it again.

It really IS time for the Democrats to stop pandering to the right and start doing what WE tell them, not what they think that Foxed-up Propaganda Channel and Rush Hindenburg (that enormous gasbag going down in flames) will let them get away with.

Are they OUR party or not? Are they supposed to represent OUR values, or the right's? Who's agenda are they SUPPOSED to be working on? It's about time we let them in on the secret, folks. If YOUR representative or senator isn't voting the right way, tell them about it and tell them that your vote does not "belong" to them. Tell them that you'll make alot of noise about their wrong votes come election time and that if they want to pander to the right, you'll vote for a BETTER Democrat next time.

The only way to scare them is to threaten to throw them out of their cushy 20-hour-a-week, 30-weeks-a-year jobs.

Next up on the Progressive agenda - Public Financing of Campaigns for federal-level offices.

We pull THAT one off, and Corporate America will shit its collective pants.
