Bad News for Blue Dogs is Bad News for Progressives

Sunday, October 31, 2010

In doing so, Obama became the first sitting president to interfere with the citizens' very limited rights in this democratic republic to select who they will trust to make laws to which they consent to be governed. Citizens have little enough of a Constituti­onally-gua­ranteed role within this democracy as it is -- We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted (the founders were nothing if not ironic). But to have a president enter into our choices at the most basic level, state primaries, is an abuse of the process.



We're not limited to voting for just Democrats & Republicans. There are other alternatives besides sitting out the election or voting for Republicans. There are other candidates running as independents, from Green to Libertarian, in just about every race, and any one of them has a stronger connection and desire to work in the interests of the People than the corporate Democratic & Republican t00ls.
