Members of Congress ask us to support them because they claim to share our values and our agenda. Then, they win -- and they whine and moan when we actually expect them to pass the agenda they promised during the campaign. According to The Hill, several Democrats are actively trying to ditch the Democratic agenda:
Vulnerable House and Senate Democrats want their leaders to skip the party’s controversial legislative agenda for next year to help save their seats in Congress.Got that? Key Democratic constituencies (environmentalists, Latinos and gays) = "controversial legislative agenda." So, here's the question: Why should we support any Democrats who throw us under the bus? Trying winning elections without environmentalists, Latinos and gays. Try it.
In the run-up to the 2010 midterm elections, they don’t want to be forced to vote on climate change, immigration reform and gays in the military, which they say should be set aside so Congress can focus on jobs and the economy.
