Are Elected Dems Toast If They Don't Start Working For The Working Class?

Poll question: Are Elected Dems Toast If They Don't Start Working For The Working Class?

I subscribe to Harry Truman's theory:

"Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time"

and believe that if our elected Democrats don't take some time out from banker-worship in order to help the working class, they're toast.

What's your thinking after today's election upset?

1. Apparently not, considering who just got elected n/t

7. Are you saying that Coakley actually did embrace the

working class? From everything I read, she was gong to embrace the atrocity of RhamaObam's "health care reform" (otherwise Know as "The Insurance and Pharma Profit Protection Act of 2010").

That sir is NOT embracing Working People - Single Payer would have been embracing the people, a Public option would have at,least been giving us an encouraging pat on the back - this ATROCITY before us (the Senate Bill - which is THE bill RhamObama WANTS) is nothing less than the Corporate WHORE RHAM and OBAMA bending us over and REAMING us!
