The Soft Underbelly of the Democratic Party

by: Cenk Uygur

Here we go again. I was going to write a nice, fun piece about Matt Damon on a lovely Sunday afternoon when the Democrats went and ruined everything, as usual. From time to time, I am told that I am too hard on the Democrats. It is not possible to be too hard on these vacillating, spineless, rudderless, clueless clowns.

Alright, there has to be an important distinction here. Most of the Democrats in the House voted the right way on the latest capitulation to the most unpopular president in history. And 28 Democratic Senators voted the right way. The rest are the biggest bunch of weaklings and half-wits I have ever seen. They are the soft underbelly of the Democratic Party.

How many times do I have to write this article? How many times will these same Democrats give in to the worst president in history? So, this time, they caved on FISA. And they caved big time.

Afterwards, please write a nice little note and/or leave a voice message for Congress-cavers Bayh, Donnelly, Ellsworth, and Hill. Thank Lugar for not even bothering to vote on this while you're at it. In case you're pondering a third party or considering (GASP!) voting a Repub into office to "voice your displeasure" with the above officials that we elected, consider this: The most effective tool we have is the primary. Let's run some TRUE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES here in Indiana on the Democrat's slate! Run YOURSELF if necessary. Even if you don't win, a primary challenge in our red/purple state will be a wake up call to our "blue dog Dems". . .or a call to action if they don't change course.
