MoveOn Calls On Obama To Stiffen Spine On Tax Cuts In National Ad

I used to think like you.  I've been falling for that old canard and voting for the lesser of two ev!ls (DLC Democrats) since the DLC took over the Democratic Party in the late 1980s.  And I was an old liberal then.  The days of Democratic voters falling for the threats, & voting for Democrats because they're the lesser of two ev!ls are fast coming to an end. Americans are realizing that Democrats & Republican­s are the same ev!l.

Obama, himself, (and Bill Clinton, too) had no trouble risking the loss of the Senate (and contribute­d to the loss of the House) when he worked to undermine the Democrats running in Florida & Rhode Island in the midterms.

I have watched the DLC take the Democratic Party farther to the right each election cycle, promising change & reform, blaming the lack of it on voters for not electing enough Democrats liberals progressiv­es, all the while the party leaders are bankrollin­g pro-corpor­ate DINOs over true liberals & cooperatin­g with Republican­s in Congress. 

Never are the party leaders using the bully pulpit of their offices to educate or inform the American people as to the great traditions of liberal Democracy & how the People have prospered under liberal Democrats.

Currently, this DINO of a president has continued just about all of the Bush-Chene­y policies & gone Bush-Chene­y one better in several areas. Civil rights abuses that Bush & Cheney could only fantasize about, never dare try, Obama's doing. 

How does any Democratic voter defend Obama after he asserts he has the right to k!ll any American citizen without due process or oversight? And Obama's 'preventiv­e detention'­? And Obama's claims of 'state secrets' to deny courts even look at his a$a$inatio­n program?

You really have to lose that "lesser of two ev!ls" argument because proponents of it are starting to look no better than the Sonderkomm­andos in WWII.
