Reply #68: the IWR was passed with a Dem Majority in the senate [View All]

Now, I would love it if the Dems got a majority in government, but "the majority" is not a panacea which will turn all dems to the left and produce productive policy.

It depends on WHO is part of that majority. 51 Zell millers would hardly represent what I or most of this party believe.

Incumbents are not entitled to renomination. If they were, tell me, what incentive would they have to do what I wanted while in office? Multiply that by 51 Senators and how does that change?

Frankly this "good German" attitude out of some people is very unhealthy. Our incumbents aren't perfect. None of them are. Some are extremely imperfect and we'd rather give the nomination to another.

What's wrong with that Lynne? Isn't the nomination ours to give, as Democrats, to whomever we want? Why do incumbents deserve it by virtue of being incumbents?
