Typical Democratic Behavior
Today on Meet the Press the main topic of discussion was private accounts connected to the solution of the real and or perceived trouble the Social Security program is experiencing. The Host says to Democratic Senator that all 45 Democratic Senators are in accord that the Republicans should remove the privitization element from the answer to solving the overall problem. Dumb senator Nelson, rather than taking the opportunity to show a solid front went on to say how we need to do this and or that. Why didn't he just say yes? This again was a good example of Democratic WIMPERY.

Locally we need to find and support Democratic candidates that are willing to uphold the party platform and are willing to stand up to a press that panders to Republican efforts to concentrate wealth at the expense of people struggling to make ends meet.

I'm curious how this qualifies as "typical" when 42 of the 44 Democrats in the Senate have stood firm against privatization. That would seem to put Nelson, along with Kent Conrad (the other holdout), as the exception to the rule ... not in the "typical" ranks.
