As Democrats' Message Lags, GOP Awaits Huge Wins

No, you don't get away with making that r!diculous claim ("The House under Pelosi has been the champion of Progressive causes") when legislation like the healthcare 'reform' bill, with its Stupak amendment (http://news.firedoglake.com/2009/11/17/gwu-study-yes-the-stupak-amendment-would-end-coverage-of-abortion-services-over-time/ ) and no public option, has become the law of the land.



Democrats in both chambers of Congress work as a team. They identify what they hope to achieve (pro-corporate legislation) and then strategize how to get it while saving each other's hides with constituents come election time.



Those in liberal districts get to talk a good game about being champions of the People, but when push comes to shove, if their votes are needed to cross over and k!ll liberal legislation (like a public option or access to ab0rtion), the DNC will make sure they are covered come election time, with massive infusions of money into their campaign war chests and crushing any principled challenges to them from the left in their primaries.
