I just got kicked off of Democratic Underground. Why, I have no idea. They don't give explanations. These are two threads they don't like. I am posting as dameocrat.

When will you liberal hawks finally get it through your thick skulls that Bush and the neocons are using "Democracy" for imperialist purposes? They are using Democracy to put us in a permanent state of warfare that this country can't afford. How deep in debt will we be when this Democratic Jihad is over? How many programs will have to be cut?
They also uses the word Democracy in an Orwellian fashion and they overthrow real democracies only to replace them with Pinochet like oligharchies. They are like Napolean. Napolean crowned himself Emperor in the name of spreading the values of the French Revolution.

I admit, I think we are better off that he lost to Thune. I don't think he was a good minority leader. I like Reid much better! I am not surprised Daschle is working for a republican lobbiest. His wife was a lobbiest for MBNA America.

Even Noam Schrieber at (Democratic Weekly Standard)TNR sees how silly this Bankruptcy bill is!
But, even worse than that, support for the bill by Democratic moderates betrays a striking obliviousness to the most important debate underway within the Democratic Party. Moderate Democrats have been under assault from grassroots liberals lately for selling out Democratic values in their rush to appease conservative interests. I normally think this criticism is highly misplaced, and that moderates have exactly the right instincts when it comes to social issues and foreign policy, even most economic issues. But in this case the moderates proved the liberals' point for them, which could set back the cause of moderates within the party for months, if not years. It really is a colossal, inexcusable mistake.
