(13,257 posts)And the Dems only take advantage of the same machine around election time. They're excellent at beating back the Repubs when votes are at stake. Why not the rest of the time? Why are they running around crying treason instead of agreeing that spying on every American was bad policy under Bush** and still is? Perhaps it's because too many of them voted right along with the Repubs to enact it? Or worse yet, believe in it?
I have no sympathy for the position the Dems have gotten themselves into by ceding to corporate interests and covering it up with ill-conceived attempts at bipartisanship to appeal to the mushy middle. I have no sympathy for them that they've tangled themselves up in their own lack of principle and refuse to speak out except around election time. They brought this on themselves and I won't enable them by forgetting this country is way more than Dem and Repub.
