Maybe if they campaign as Democrats and win, they'll vote like Democrats in DC

Huffpo has an encouraging article highlighting Democrats running against millionaire tax breaks. It is the height of political malpractice that my party allowed the GOP to harness the outrage against Wall Street to put some of the most extreme RW puppets into Congress in 2010.We damn well better start channeling FDR and HST policies and combativeness or this country will be lost.
