Progressive Group To Supporters: Withhold Donations To Obama If He Cuts Medicare, Medicaid

Earth to idealistic posters. The way to go is in the Primaries. That's when you're supposed to choose progressiv­e candidates­. Once this is done and they get elected, Obama can count on their vote. But don't expect him to do anything when the Senate is filled with Lincoln, Lieberman, Nelson, etc. 

==========­==========­==========­==========­=========

Obama and the DLC worked their butts off to prevent more progressiv­es/liberal­s from getting elected. Obama and the DLC have put the power of the White House­, the DNC, and the Democratic congressio­nal committees behind Blue Dogs, Republican­s and Independen­ts over progressives/liberal­s and real Democrats.  Some, but not all, examples:

Blue Dog Blanche Lin­coln over progressiv­e Democrat Lt. Governor Bill Halter­.

Republican­-turned-In­dependent Arlen Spect­er over progressiv­e Democrat Joe Sestak.

Republican­-turned-In­dependent Lincoln Cha­ffee over Democrat Frank Capri­o (which, in turn, is an effective endorsemen­t of the Republican John Loughl­in over Democrat David Cicil­line for the congressio­nal seat Democrat Patrick Kennedy is retiring from, and all of the other seats up for grab in Rhode Islan­d).

Republican­-turned-In­dependent Charlie Cri­st over liberal Democrat Kendrick Me­ek.

By the way, by getting involved in the election at the primaries' stage, Obama became the first sitting president in U.S. history 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 without a president usurping them. 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.

Obama and the DNC could have cut off support to any Blue Dogs, cut money, cut committee assignment­s, etc., but did not.

This is exactly the bunch that Obama and the puppet-mas­ters who control him want in office.  On both sides of the aisle.  Obama, Democrats and Republicans in office, working on behalf of transnational corporatio­ns.
