- Democrats pack in their antiwar charade
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  Little more than 10 months after winning the leadership of both houses of the US Congress thanks to a swelling tide of opposition to the war in Iraq, the Democratic Party has largely abandoned even the pretense of a struggle to bring the war to an end.

- Democrats prostrate as Bush, generals vow Iraq war will continue for years
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The televised hearings on the Iraq war before House and Senate committees have demonstrated two political facts: the Bush administration and the Pentagon plan to continue the war in Iraq indefinitely, and the Democratic Party leaders, in both Congress and the presidential campaign, intend to do nothing to stop them.

- FISA failure demonstrates why we need real progressives in Congress
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues.wordpress
  I'm still mulling over the massive Democratic capitulation that enabled Bush to pass into law the most sweeping violation of Americans' privacy yet. Why did Democrats in both chambers of Congress roll over and give Mr. 28% carte blanche to spy on Americans without any recourse? Why throw away all the political capital that could have been gained from opposing him? It wasn't just Democrats who helped push this ugly bill into law--many of the supporters were newly-elected netroots Democrats...

- Obama calls for US attack on Pakistan in warmongering address
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  In a transparent effort to bolster his reputation for toughness on national security issues and outflank his main rivals on the right for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois delivered a bellicose speech August 1 at a Washington think tank.

Also:
"Thomas Frank wrote a best-selling book four years ago (What’s the Matter with Kansas?), which examined this process in his home state, and his conclusions about the use of coded appeals to religion to induce voters to ignore their own economic interests have become conventional wisdom in ruling class political and media circles.

"While Frank’s book had certain insights into American culture and politics, he ignored the most fundamental factor enabling the Republican appeals to prejudice and backwardness to produce electoral successes—the drastic shift by the Democratic Party to the right and its abandonment of any policies to alleviate economic inequality or improve living conditions for working people.
—Patrick Martin, "US media, Clinton assail Obama for ‘bitter’ truth, World Socialist Web Site, 14 April 2008.
