This is an example of why Democratic turnout was low in the Tuesday's election. Not because Democrats have somehow "moved too far to the left." In fact, Democrats have moved too far to the right, and voters have had enough - including Democratic voters who are starting to wonder why "change" keeps looking like the same old corporate patronage crap we had under the Bush administration.
I believe there is nothing truer than that last line about the illusion of Change. The Obama administration's acceptance of so much of what this country -- or at least the Left -- despised about the Bush administration is really beyond ridiculous at this point. While I believe Democrats are mostly spineless when required to stand up for their stated principles, I'm not so naive as to think it's as simple as having a little courage. They are now in power. This has completely corroded them. Wall St. and corporate America lead them around. All Democrats are worried about is staying in power. What do they have to do to keep power? Appease who holds the purse strings. It's a Republican Light party. Barack Obama can say "change" all he wants; he's not serious about it. And if he is serious, well then he does lack a spine, just as most other Democrats.
So, I guess it's one or the other: no spine or typical power-hungry hack who will say just about anything to anyone for the sole purpose of holding power.
