Earlier today Cenk Uygur from The Young Turks on Air America posted a stinging rebuke of spineless Democrats here and he nails it:
It's going to take a generation to move these spineless Democrats out of office. Unfortunately, that is our only alternative... So, we have to pursue a new tack. The long road of primary fights for the next decade or two until we clear the losers out of this party. The people trained and encouraged to lose by their consultants.
I agree with Cenk! Here at DFA, we are already taking action. Two week's ago DFA endorsed Donna Edwards in her primary against Bush Democrat Al Winn. Today, DFA endorsed Mark Pera against another spineless values betraying DINO, Congressman Dan Lipinski.
Help us raise $30,000 for Mark Pera right now:

Congressman Lipinski is out of touch with America. He can't stop himself from voting with the Bush party line to prevent life-saving stem cell research or give oil companies even higher profits. He's even voted five times to keep funding Bush's war and supports keeping troops in Iraq beyond 2010.
With Democrats like Congressman Dan Lipinski, the Republicans don't even need to run a candidate.
Beating entrenched Republican incumbents is a top priority, but it's not enough. We need a progressive Congress and that includes reforming our own party.
It is time we can make a change; Mark Pera is the progressive in the primary.
Send a message to Congress: You're on notice. Regardless of political party, when Congress won't represent the will of the American people, then we'll fight to replace them with someone who will.

With the news today that Daddy Lipinski is using a kids charity to help Dan's campaign replacing Congressman Lipinski gets more important every day.
Time and again, Bush Democrats have let America down. Now, it is up to us to show them why primaries matter.
Thank you for everything you do,
