There is nothing of "purity" in what I want from Obama (and Democrats in general)!
I need the policies that will stop the slide into poverty for my family and friends.
I am only asking for: what we used to have in this country. Not asking for anything new. Nothing. Not a thing.
I am asking Obama to merely step away from radical Right Wing policies. I want the dis-mantling of the social safety net to cease.
Stepping back from radicalism isn't ideological purity. I am not asking him to get body piercings, ride a Vespa or invite Iggy Pop to the White House.
And the casual, and continual tossing of the "P" word most likely just demonstrates that some here at DU are living in a more privileged America than I am. What's "pure" is the destruction of my blue-collar world.
Some still have the luxury of seeing (the already completed) destruction of that world and the (continuing) destruction of the middle-class as interesting little details in the Grand Game of political sport..
But it may just be a matter of time before y'all are kicked out of your cubicles and join my desperate friends in the endless lines at the Job Center.
Please stop attacking those who are suffering! You don't tri-angulate with destruction and ruin!

Just to be clear. The Democrats that I have defended, voted for, worked
and donated money to stood for the things that Democrats before us accomplished.

We are the Peoples Party. We are no longer led by Democrats or Republicans. We are led by the principles that America has stood for since the Civil War; Liberty and Justice for All!!
The fact that we have yet to fulfill the promise of those ...principles only serves to move us in that direction and quicken our step. Those who do not walk with us are trying to break us and turn us against each other. We know those tactics. We know too of the unifying power of Liberty and Justice and they cannot stop us. We will secure these principles even for those who would stand in our way.
We walk the high road. We are the righteous. We have pulled that mantle around us and we are invincible.
Are you mad enough yet? Come, join the movement that seeks true American Values; Liberty and Justice for All.
