It's time to face the facts, the Democratic party is not a solution for someone that values peace, truth, justice and equality. Look at the record, Democrats oppose the President in the way that he's "handled" the war but they don't have a problem with his policy of war, they even voted for it. The President supports radical ideologues for prominent positions and the Democrats do little to nothing to oppose them. Congress passes legislation that further hurts the poor and the Democrats sit idly by on the sidelines.

In fact with exception of a few, Democrats actually differ very little in action from Republicans. They are just as entrenched in the power structure as the Republicans and completely ...
... disconnected from the realities that Americans face every day. That's why Clinton served up nationalized health care to Hillary. He knew it would fail without him throwing his weight behind it and he failed to realize the +45 million reasons why it needed to succeed. He played a game of politics with people's well being and what the Democrats fail to realize is that Clinton was primarily successful because of his charisma and ability to communicate not because he was a moderate.

Hell, I volunteered for John Kerry because it was my belief that had he been President we never would have ruthlessly attacked another nation that posed absolutely no threat to ours but the fact of the matter is that John Kerry voted to give George W. Bush authorization to use force. Regardless of what Kerry thought was the proper course of action he and his Democratic compatriots should have opposed George W. Bush then and now. But they're not. Not one of them is making a stand. Not one of them is going out on a limb. They are so damn concerned with maintaining their grasp on the little power that they have that they won't stand out and stand up and use every resource at their disposal to fight Congress and this administration at every turn.

The situation is analogous to how the poor destroys itself for control of meager resources. You see, the Democrats are losing power and have been for years. Instead of changing course, which means to stop looking at the polls and start doing what's right, they cling more and more to the failed examples of the past. All that they need to do is look at why the other side is winning. The answer is brazen decisiveness. The Republicans have a vast agenda to advance and they dive into it wholeheartedly. For anyone paying any kind of attention can see that they're not even trying to hide the fact they've been completely purchased by corporations and legitimized by self-appointed religious extremists who all have an interest to further, which incidentally happens to run contrary to the needs and desires of the American people.

They represent fascism and zealotry and they're beating YOU! Don't you get it? You need not look at polls to win! You just need to stand with the people. Don't laugh at them, don't condescend to them and certainly DO NOT tell them what you think that they want to hear. Be honest, be strong and stand willing to give up your seat of power if necessary to say and do what should be said and done.
