An Open Letter to the Democratic Party

Dear DNC,

We sent you Democrats to Washington DC two years ago with the White House, a solid majority in the House of Representatives, and a veto-proof majority in the Senate. And what have we gotten from you?

Health-care "reform" that reforms nothing, has no public option, adds a mandate, and is actually worse than nothing. You sold us out to the HMO's and Big Pharma.

Financial "reform" that reforms nothing, does nothing, and is a totally toothless tiger. You sold us out to the Bankers and the Brokers.

A huge expansion of the War in Afghanistan that is doing nothing but filling more body bags. The offensive in Helmand, that was supposed to be the great example of the new strategy, is a failure. The Taliban are winning. The corporations are getting rich on defense contracts, and the 99ers are getting homeless. Yes, hello, there are millions of 99ers out here, remember us?

Don't ask don't tell? Thrown under the bus

Signing statements? Obama swore he would never use them, and he did.

Guatanomo? Still open.

We sent you Democrats to DC two years ago with the White House, a solid majority in the House of Representatives, and a veto-proof majority in the Senate. If you can't get the job done with that, you are hopelessly incompetent. Or you've sold us out.

Why should we vote for you again?

Your only answer is to shriek and gibber about how evil those nasty old Republicans are. Well, yes, they are evil.

Then again, with friends like you, who needs enemies?

  1. So true. I'm about ready to give up on them. Nice to see someone else feels like I do.
