Do you feel confident there is at least one Liberal Ideal that is safe with this Administration?

[Bandit]

I would like some reassurance because I don't feel there is any Progressive Ideal or Policy that is safe under this Administration and Democratic Senate...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

1. A majority of the Senate are not progressives

nor is President Obama- at least not as DU defines progressivism.

[Vincardog]

2. Only the ideal that Corporate "People" will not have their "rights" infringed

[lob1]

3. It seems to me that all core democratic values are on the table.

4. wellll.....

I'm pretty sure they arent' going to re-introduce slavery.

Communist Witch hunts are probably gone for now.

Uhhh... ummm.

I am just trying to not get too down because once again we end up with the lesser of two evils.

5. No.

[Brickbat]

6. Apparently everything has to be on the table because that's what compromise is all about: proposing

something, and then detailing what you're willing to give up -- above and beyond your original proposal -- before the other group even reacts to what you're saying.

7. Absolutely not n/t

[mike_c]

8. no confidence....

[Hell Hath No Fury]

9. Everything is all the table with this admnistration.

That is the feeling I am left with. :(

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Yes and I'm really getting tired of this.

[villager]

11. Nope.

n/t

[dtexdem]

12. Yeah: they think they can do well in Liberal, Kansas by constant caving to conservative Rethugs.

But that "Liberal" idea is wrong. ;-)

[hifiguy]

13. Not a one, not even the ones that can be taken without

Congress. Witness the shameful ditching of tougher clean air standards.

I am increasingly convinced that this President would willingly sign his own (literal) death warrant in the name of "bipartisanship" were it presented to him.
