I do agree with that, as I have always been a middle of the road Democrat in the past. But the worse things get, the further left I'm heading. I was, and still am, upset about the filibuster not happening and as far as I'm concerned every Democrat that voted against the filibuster and then had the nerve to vote against Alito is a hypocrite. I guess my point is that the Democratic leaders need to recognize that we (the constituants) are ready for someone to start standing up for us. Rattle the cage, rock the boat....get someone to notice how crappy things are going!
I *want* to be middle of the road, but I don't want to be steamrolled by a government that continually proves that it cares nothing about me. So I guess I'll have to jump one way or another if I want to tip the scales. And I'm disappointed that the Democrats weren't up it yet at such an important time.
As far as Mrs. Sheehan, I also think she should have been allowed in, as the Republican's wife should. (I also wondered if she wasn't a set up....but who knows.) If I were the powers that be, though, I don't think I'd have trusted Ms. Sheehan to behave.
