How will the DINOS vote when the DEMS are a majority.

OUCH - The pain of a 55 seat majority consistantly mustering 42 or 43 votes on progrssive issues.

Sad pessimism - I need to go to bed

1. you are assuming

the DINO's will still be in office.

not if real, and progressive Democrats resume the majority.

2. Relax.

The DINOs will vote with the Dems. They're the kind of people who will always align themselves with whoever they deem to be in power. That's why they cozy-up to the Republicans now.

As soon as the Dems are back in charge, the DINOs will be their most outspoken supporters - not out of conviction, but because they want to hang out the popular kids in school, in hopes of being thought of as popular themselves.

4. The didn't vote for Clinton's agenda a lot of times.

Didn't the DINO caucus kill health care reform?

5. I think that's right. They're looking for popularity, and what is

called Fence Sitters in the "Business 101 Class". Go along with the program and don't make waves.

3. Excellent point.

I was thinking that another day. Perhaps the blogospher can put pressure on them to do the right thing?

6. In the 1960's, Democrats had 55+ seats including Jim Eastland,

Harry Byrd, John Stennis, Dick Russell, Al Ellender and many other southern/conservative Dems who were not dependably loyal but still could surprise you sometimes.

We've never goose-stepped like the Republicans. Democrats truly are "big tent". We don't require orthodoxy. Not saying I'm thrilled about it, but that has been my experience since the mid-1960's.
