How do we lose when we've got the upper hand? Let me count the ways.

How is it possible that the Democrats could allow the Republican party to continue to have an effect on this country? This country was decimated by the Republican party and here we are at the eleventh hour of real change for the people, and we have Democrat representatives who are running scared by politics. Where is the love? Why did these people become politicians? Did they do it to be popular? Did they do it to be told by their opposition that they might lose their jobs if they don't in fact do their jobs? I feel like spitting nails these days because of what I'm seeing. I have been rendered speechless by what's going on here. I can only list the ways I see the Democrats failing to do anything to turn this country around.

1. They let Lieberman keep his committee chair.
2. They don't get in the faces of those Blue Dog Dems who take millions from the big corporations.
3. Democrats love to be in power, but don't have the fortitude to do what's necessary.
4. We may truly be lacking the leadership necessary to get things done. (Sorry Obama, You're looking a little weak right now.)
Oh hell, there are just too many ways to lose the big win. I'm tired.

I really am considering a shift to Independent, but I probably won't participate in the political process any more. I will become what I have always tried to talk others out of. I will be a citizen who doesn't go to the party.
