This is a rant. A rant about party unity, about the failure of Democrats to live up to and stand for their principles, and a wake up call from a Democratic party loyalist. The petty self-interest of Democratic politicans is rapidly destroying the good will and hope of the people who fought hard to bring them to power. When the needs of one Senator become more important than the needs of all average Americans, the Democratic party, and the country, is in trouble.
For me, Democrats need to give up their petty manuevering and get back on the high horse, where principles in defense of the common man are more important than the petty reelection chances of a red state senator, or the chairmanship of a turncoat who holds the (unfulfilled) promise of being a 60th vote.
