We're "Left," and We're Democrats. Get Over It Right Wing Media!

I am so tired of hearing the "left wing" of the Democratic Party. ALL Democrats are LEFT. The media continues to portray the horror of being "left," or being liberal for that matter, if a person dares to be a Democrat not willing to go along with Republican policies."

I have never seen the Republicans tack toward the center. EVER. They never give ground.

What ingrained problem has caused the Democratic Party to lose the populous agenda? We mess up the solution to the recognized problem. For example:

Recognizing the problem-Here's what a recent email from Democracy for America laid out:

Obama has signaled he's open to dramatically scaling back health care reform. The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee says he might gut the financial reform bill to appease Republicans. And on top of all that, the Supreme Court just opened the floodgates of corporate cash on politics!

Retreat is exactly the wrong message for Democrats to take from recent election losses. The lesson from Massachusetts is that voters want more change -- not less.

The proposed head scratching, mind numbing solution :

Moveon.org: President Obama and some Democrats in Congress are considering scaling back health care in the wake of the Massachusetts election. Join us to encourage Sen. Feingold to push for REAL health care reform NOW.......no delays!

That's right, Democrats are supposed to protest outside the offices of a health care reform supporter, Feingold, but not the offices of Republican opponents like Sen. James Sensenbrenner or Rep. Paul Ryan. That will not only tell opponents to wise up, but send a message to Democrats to hold ground. Are the tea party protesters smarter than liberal democrats?

Republicans are the ones to protest. That goes double for Republican thinking free market blue dogs Democrats promoting the same failed conservative principals that got us to this place.

The "left" is not a party annoyance, they're DEMOCRATS!
