Anyone who votes against a critical Democratic bill such as the upcoming HCR bill

should lose any Democratic leadership positions they have in the House or Senate.

5. Loyalty oaths, praise for neocon-era policies, support for neocon occupations...

the tone on this site certainly has changed since Obama got into the WH.

16. I'm sorry. But you can't throw a lace doily over this and go about
