Reply #26: i'm not sure about your standards [View All]

because mine are telling me that the line has been crossed. i guess i'm too far to the left to really get why you'd support the leadership's actions (and lack thereof) over the last four years, but i know i could've done a far better job being the opposition.

everyone you mention has done some really great things, sponsored important legislation, etc. but what has happened in this country in the last four years? stop and think about it for a moment, do you remember 1999? what it was like? and look at us now: an emerging fascist state that plans to regulate political internet speech starting next year, just to name one example.

what has the party leadership done for us? i really don't care what little group and beltway cocktail party set they hang out in, i want to know what they've done to stop the criminals in the white house. which as far as i can tell, has been little more than appease. and counsel people like me that we just need to keeping moving to the center. it's beyond insulting.

i'm sorry to have my opinion of so many otherwise worthy leaders drop so greatly over the last few years. and of course, i don't blame them for the war, or the rest of the evil coming out of the administration. but i do blame them for being stupid, navel-gazing, and insulting to their staunchest supporters. as a black woman, i can say with confidence that the party doesn't care about me except when they need me. and kerry doesn't even seem to care about that (re:OH voting). so please, tell me why i should care about the dlc or what it believes. they are proven three time losers. that's when people *should* get fired.
