UPDATE: The early results of my poll indicate that you do not think that liberalism is dead. Wonderful. I agree. START ACTING LIKE IT.
Stop giving me "off the table", opt-ins, opt-outs, triggers, more trade than cap, "how dare you question the President", "I have his back (so I'm a better Democrat than you)". "oh no, President Palin or Huckabee or whoever is your personal right wing boogeyman."
We question our leaders. That's what we do. That's what makes us great and why we'll probably endure long after the Palin's and Mark Kirk's of the world have crawled back under their respective rocks. Don't wring your hands over it. Don't give up. Stop negotiating with yourself before you get to the negotiating table. Don't buy into the cat litter box contents of "off the table". Celebrate liberalism by acting like a liberal.
