Reply #9: It IS a Dem issue-- although some Dems need to be reminded of it!

Especially the DLC and other corporate apologists who seem to forget where our power base is at.

This is precisely the reason I stopped working for Democratic presidential candidates in 1992-- the party simply dismissed the concerns of working people in order to pander to the highest corporate bidder. Even the unions stopped doing this for a while, and worried about their 'old line' constituents in the smokestack industries, while service workers damn near BEGGED for unionizing help.

THE TRUE DEMOCRATS stand up for the working people of this country, and WILL NOT sell them down the river to appear "moderate" or to get bigger campaign contributions. These issues are our bread and butter, and we've consistently been able to use them against our Republican opponents.

It's a dirty shame that espousing such a position these days in the Democratic Party will get you branded as a "wacko" or "extremist" or "troublemaker". It just goes to show how far to the right the political discussion in this country has drifted. :mad:
