AARGH! How am I supposed to support the Democratic party..
...when they're the ones targeting our best candidates? I'm so angry about this whole Hackett mess. I normally consider myself a proud Democrat, but I'm both angry and ashamed of our party's behavior in this case. This is a wound I will not soon forget, or forgive.

1. Me either
We need wholesale change at the top of the Dem structure.
Starting with the frail Reid.

Let's see...who has more voter appeal...Reid or Hackett?

Fucking Dems can't even get anything right...I AM PISSED!
Getting rid of Hackett was a HUGE mistake.

GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. I am right with you
All along, I thought that Dean should start a new progressive populist party. This is horrible, just horrible. After the Alito Fillibuster attempt, I was pissed at the DLC, now I am pissed at the entire party. Thanks a lot. :banghead:

3. Was Hackett really a Dino
We need to ask ourselves that. We're already heavy with Lieberman.

4. Ask that of DiFi or Evan Bayh
They are the true DINOs. Lieberman is a Republican.

5. Hackett stood up for what he believes
He is not a DINO at all. That is the problem.

Hackett doesn't roll over for anyone. Feinstein, Lieberman, Bayh, Biden, Ben and Bill Nelson, Hillary are all DLC'ers. Reid, Schumner, and Durbin might not be DLC'ers, but they aren't the leaders we need. We need Russ Feingold, Boxer, Kennedy, Harkin, and I can't believe I am saying this, John Kerry to stand up and lead.
