The mainstream media loves to denigrate the democratic party- they castigate the dems as ineffectual and weak, they cite high disapproval numbers for dems as proof that this is a conservative country.
That’s only one side of the story.
The popular narrative is that Obama had democratic majorities in the house and the senate, but with max baucus, joe Lieberman, and ben nelson on your side, who needs enemies.
There were 54 blue dogs in the house, after the 2010 elections the blue dogs got shellacked and only 26 were left standing.
The voters mistakenly thought the blue dogs and the party they were pretending to represent were the problem, so they replaced them with tea party zealots.
Ironically, they hated the republican ideology that the blue dogs practiced, yet they replaced them with people that were even more to the right!
On this site people have become despondent to the Democratic Party. And one of the main reasons is the blue dog congress members and the DINO senators that have sabotaged the party and this country.
The media is all too happy to pretend that Baucus and Nelson represent the Democratic Party; nothing could be further from the truth.
Putting Baucus on the super committee was an affront to all liberals- but when he compromises or when he pretends to bow to republican demands because he had no choice, the media will spin the tale of democratic weakness that ultimately lead to entitlement cuts.
If DINO’s go for cuts to entitlements, and no taxes on the rich, voters will ask:
“What’s the point of the democratic party?- they are just as bad, maybe worse than the republicans.”
The blue dogs / DINO’s have sabotaged and diminished the party; it’s time we called them out for it.
We can make a difference, since Erin Burnet made a mockery of Occupy, her ratings have plummeted.
David Gergory, is a shill, the sooner we get the mainstream to understand that, the better.
DINO’s aren’t democrats- next time they screw the dems over- it has to be understood that they are right wing extremists in disguise.
