(3,891 posts)When a Democrat is in office, do those issues suddenly vanish? Then we have a chance to make a difference in more than the letter after the name of the officeholder. Then we can see positive changes being made.
Presiden Obama told us to hold his feet to the fire. Now you are upset because the issues that we care about, the principles we base our opposition to the Republicans on, still matter to us. Perhaps we are the problem. Perhaps it is that we don't understand that these issues are just campaign issues to the rest of the Party to scare us to the polls. Perhaps we do understand that, and we are screaming because of that understanding.
I am sorry you find the principles of your fellow members disturbing. I say sorry, but not surprising. Because the rest of the party wants us to shut up too. Oh they want our money, and they want us to volunteer, and they want us to vote. But they want us as silent sycophants, silent unless we are praising the party for moving farther right than the Republicans.
Go team.
