Where is our Democratic leadership?

[lees1975]

58. Where, indeed!

We seem to be the party that can't see around the next corner.

Republicans planning this for years, in some cases laying the groundwork through media pigs like Rush Limbaugh, stacking courts with unqualified judges, and they've been telling us all of the populist crap they believe. But our guys go on making speeches, running for office, protecting their own turf.

I am sick of American politicians who want to hang on to their office as long as they can to collect the check and the benefits. I will only vote for those who serve the people and are willing to speak truth to power and sacrifice, their own position if they have to, to make the point and get something done.

If we had term limits and a $100,000 cap on the total amount of campaign funds anyone can raise for any office, we wouldn't have this problem now.
