Progressives Must Stand Up to the President

Why?

Seriously, what do you think would be different?

Had McCain gotten into office, Democrats would have controlled both Houses of Congress.  

McCain could have gotten nothing through without Democrats caving.

The sad truth is that, just like Obama's flip-flopp­ing on his campaign promises, McCain talked nonsense to his voting base in order to get their support.  And Palin's record as governor of Alaska was as "working in a bipartisan manner" with Democrats and Republican­s.

We don't seem to be able to get Democrats to act like Democrats when we give them the power of the office.  Their record from when they're in the minority isn't hot either.

If you want Democratic principles and legislatio­n, you're not going to get it from Democratic politician­s.
