15. The problem with that is: He was Elected to Undo Bush

At least that's what many Democrats thought.

He has not succeded in that...and he has in many ways FURTHERED BUSH...which is why many DU'ers who've been here a very long time fighting are so disappointed.

He's now into his SECOND TERM...If we don't STAND UP NOW against Expansion of Bush Policies then WHERE IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY...and even the LEFT in the Dem Party going to be when a Repug (cyclical that a after a Two-Term the Opposite Party gets elected)...going to BE when the REPUGS STILL RULE for 8 Years of Bush and 8 YEARS OF "BUSH LIGHT or Bush CONTINUATION BUT HARDER?"

I'm distraught over this...as you can read and many other Dems are but they've left this Site and Mobilizing Elsewhere. I know some here want to say "GOOD RIDDANCE...BE GONE!" But, does that mean that you supported Repugs and Bush all ALONG?
