The only way to do that is for the party to not take a stance on abortion, to remove any reference to 'choice'. That's certainly true of Howard Dean. During Howard Dean's tenure as chairman of the DNC, he indicated in several interviews that the intent was to move the Democratic Party from referring to abortion at all in its platform. Here's one of those interviews

It's troubling that an article like this even had to be written. Whatever Julian Assange is or isn't has nothing to do with the documents being leaked on Wikileaks.

We're seeing that repeated, not only in the documents being released on WIkileaks, but in real time, with our government officials pressuring Sweden and Interpol, et al, to trump up a case against Assange in order to rendition him.
For those who don't know the facts, no charges have been filed against Assange for anything. The alleged victims have publicly stated that no r@pe took place.
There are all of these secondary filings of paperwork (like a 'red notice' by Interpol) that have no force of law on their own without any actual criminal charges being filed against Assange and what you would typically do AFTER someone is charged with a crime in order to arrest and extradite the person back to the country where the alleged crimes occurred.

Speaking of "flawed", out of the mouth of an HP favorite, Meghan McCain:
During an event at Manhattan's Time-Life building Wednesday night, McCain blasted Assange for publishing hundreds of thousands of classified documents pertaining to the wars in Iraq and Afghanista n.
"I disagree with what he did. I think it's un-American," said McCain, characteri zing Assange as a "creepy rogue Swedish guy. He looks like a James Bond villain. He harbors a lot of ill will toward America. To me he's a villain."
McCain called the leaks "provocative on every level" and said they had "changed the way Americans view the war."
She was participating in a panel discussion about who Time magazine's 2010 Person of the Year should be. Assange is one of the candidates . On Thursday morning, he was leading a reader poll, with more than 10,600 votes as of the time of this posting.
Time convenes the panel every fall in advance of its annual late-December issue recognizin g the person, group of people, place, machine or idea that "for better or for worse ... has done the most to influence the events of the year."
And to whom does McCain think that honor should go?
"The tea party is definitely my big nominee," she said. "We're seeing a cultural shift from the likes that my father says he hasn't seen in his lifetime. What I saw rumbling underneath during 2008 has really come to the surface." Second choice: Glenn Beck. "He's very biased, considers himself a commentator, not a journalist ," said McCain. "These are the times we're living in. This is what journalism is today."

Chris1962, Are you under the impression that the rich are constraine
I assume you're not one of the rich, but maybe I'm wrong, maybe you are rich. That would certainly explain your defending a system that's been gamed to advantage those who have lots of money. And the more you have, the more advantages you get, to the point where those who don't have money, have no voice and no way to even aspire to get money. Not without breaking the law to get it.
