No your correct many of the democrats are weak. Many of the democrats that were voted in last November were in conservative or republican districts. Some how they are pressured in to voting Bush’s way, which I don’t understand since they were voted in for at least, a change in the way business is being done in Washington, whatever your perception of change is. Also many of them are so called moderated/conservative Blue Dog Democrats. The political landscape has shifted so far right since the early 1980s that most politicians are afraid to express liberal or progressive ideas. In fact the right has done such a good job of demonizing the term liberal. In my opinion, we must vote in more liberal and progressive representatives. Business as gotten incredible powers over our lives over the last 30 years and we have given up most of our personal rights through authoritative conservative politicians. I’m an independent too, but I find that some democrats have the right idea.

Conservative Democrats Ain’t Listening, Vote Them Out!
