Will the Democratic Party stand up to this?

(Or should I be short selling the President by running a pool to guess when Mr Obama concedes on these promises too?)

2. Depends on how much the New Democrats carry the day.

3. Until we have true campaign finance reform,

the donors of democrats who have a conflict-of-interest with progressive ideals and democratic fundamentals should be exposed and boycotts organized.

With a few exceptions, most democratic officeholders have two masters: their constiuents and their donors. They can't serve both. We need to put pressure on both our representatives and their sponsors in order to get our policies enacted and to keep our rights protected.

7. Mebbe 5-10% of them.

For the rest of us it's 'shared burden', ho-ho.

8. The Democratic Party... STAND UP for ANYTHING?! This pathetic party of sellouts and rollovers??

9. The Party had better RETURN to standing up for the people.

Otherwise, the people will stop standing up for the Party at the polls, or with donations or volunteerism.

10. When the People stand up and reclaim their party, the Party will stand up for them

and not before.
