The Dem capitulation to Bushes War continues apace. I am so way beyond bummed. We need better Democrats. Go to the MoveOn site and vote to support primary challengers for the enablers of this madness. Matt Stoller has a list of Bush Dog Democrats who enable this shit here.
Eventually the Progressive Movement needs to really do some soul searching and decide whether or not the Democratic Party is the best vehicle for our beliefs and aspirations. Matt Stoller seems to think we need to flip 41 seats from conservative to Progressive to get the power needed to further the agenda. I am not so sure that he is being overly optimistic. My fear is that the Democratic Party will view the Progressives as an annoying necessity. They will toss us a bone now and then in exchange for our money and foot soldiers, but never really embrace the agenda. Sound familiar, look at how the Republicans treat the Religious Right and you see the template that the party insiders are planning for the Progressive movement.
