WHY SHOULD YOU VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS (PLUS GOP GIVING UP ON MORE SEATS)

People who believe in progressive values and principles have no electoral choice but to work with the Democratic Party, even with all the flaws of the Inside the Beltway careerists like Rahm Emanuel. The alternative... well, we've just had 6 years of the alternative and there is no reason to believe that it won't get worse. Much worse. My friend John Beug just sent me two video clips that show why we need to vote Democratic a week from today. One defines "liberal" and one defines "conservative." Take a look. Which are you?





While that sinks in, chew on this: ABC News just reported that the Republicans have given up on three more hopeless seats they've been contesting. No money Republican corporate bucks for OH-18 (Bob Ney's handpicked successor Joy Padgett), or CO-07 (end of the line for Bush-bud/wingnut Rick O'Donnell; can you say "Congressman Perlmutter?"); and, alas, they have stopped flushing resources down the Curt Weldon toilet in PA-07.
