The Democratic leadership has failed America.

If you want to know how the Democatic leadership (Steny Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Jay Rockefeller) has failed American, go look at this cartoon.

For the details, go read Glenn Greenwald. But only if you have a strong stomach.

Why is this the case? I agree with Glenn when he says

...the Democratic Party as a whole (with many individual exceptions) supports those policies and/or believes in nothing other than the perpetuation of their own power, which they perceive is advanced by supporting those policies.

This has got to change, and strongly so.
