Which side are the Dems on??
With the outed memos from the FAA regarding bin laden using hijacked planes as weapons, and this burried from the BIPARTISAN 9-11 COMMISSION , it makes me very skeptical as to whether the Dems are a viable opposion party, one that represents US. The Dems have taken bipartisan efforts to a new level, one that reelects an illegitimate pResident for the 2nd time. We need to ask the Party who they represent.

Reforms are coming after 2 illegitimate terms of an unelected pResident. Clinton yesterday warned against "becoming too progressive". Clinton was speaking with a DLC drape behind him.

The DLC is corporate , and don't want reformer Dean. The DLC was in on deep sixing Dean in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Clinton is bus* lite , wants to try for the 3rd time to out rep. the reps .with a DLC platform......No thanks Billy .

The national security B.S. just doesn't wash, as other memos were allowed to be in the document, especially the PDB stating "bin laden dertermined to attack U.S. If this PBD was entered into the report , the FAA memos should also. I remind you that rice admited the PDB with bin laden was deemed "historically significant"

I would also like my statement about Cinton and the DLC DNC duplicity addressed . Where is the Dems backbone? What about the calling yesterday by Clinton to go easy on being progressive? His speech was rep lite .

Face it folks, the Dems are more concerned with their cosy Washington power , than representating US.Dean would change this, why Billy , Hilly , and many Dems vote with the reps, they make me puke.

social justice & egalitarian values fall by the wayside when money talks.

4. I don't know I think this is a glass half empty approach
I don't want to turn a blind eye to the faults of the Democratic Party or Clinton, but both have a lot of strong points, as well. Clinton isn't by any stretch of the imagination Bush Light. Certainly a flawed politician who did a lot of bad things, but he didn't lead us into an unnessecary war. He isn't planning to scrap Social Security. He lowered the deficit and his policies, in part, helped fuel the Economic boom of the 90s.

And Dean did become the National Chairperson, despite the DLC not liking him.

Look at how few Dems are standing with President Bush on this Social Security thing.

I just see some hope in the news, and I'm far from ready to abandon the Democratic Party.
