The Democratic Party has been sending me appeals to donate to the Louisiana runoff campaign of Mary Landrieu. This is a Senator who is pushing the Keystone pipeline, who is in the thrall of big oil, and who is so far to the right that she opposes legalizing marijuana for medical reasons, although her Republican opponent supports it.
I know she will be another Democratic vote in the Senate on organizational matters, but so what. Doesn’t the Democratic Party stand for anything? Perhaps some of the Democratic candidates lost because they ran from the Affordable Care Act, which has insured millions. They ran from Obama’s policies that brought us out of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Alison Grimes wouldn’t even admit she voted for Obama.
Why settle for Republican light? No wonder voters went for the real thing. As for Mary Landrieu, I’m ok with you losing.
I agree! Landrieu and Grimes have no business calling themselves Democrats. For that matter, any democrat who ran from the president should be ashamed of themselves.
ReplyDeleteMillions have healthcare that never had it before. The auto industry was saved, the war in Afghanastan is about done, the stock market is at an all time high (rising from less than 7000 to almost 18000),unemployment is below six percent, Bin laden is dead, and the Dodd Frank act is a reality. I ask, why would Democrats run away from all that?
I for one will not miss either one of them!
My sentiments exactly.
