jobsanger is too kind to the Texas Democratic Party

jobsanger says 'Texas Democratic Leaders Vote To Have No Beliefs'

The SDEC was considering proposals for party support. Now this would have been a good start in showing voters that the Democrats stood for progressive values and the party was going to give them a real choice in November 2012. But that would have required some political vision and backbone, and the majority of the SDEC doesn't seem to have either one. These political cowards defeated anti-death penalty, pro-gay rights, and pro-marijuana legalization proposals. They said they didn't want to saddle their candidates with these progressive proposals (as if offering the voters a real choice would be a bad thing).

They did not support the opposite views of those progressive ideas -- they just wanted to not support them either. In effect, they want to be the party that is devoid of ideas and values (because ideas and values might upset some voters). So now I guess the Texas voters will have a bad choice to make in 2012. They can vote for the party of bad ideas (Republicans) or the party of no ideas (Democrats). Frankly, that doesn't sound like a choice, but a good reason to just stay home (and that's probably just what too many voters will do).

The Texas Democratic Party's controlling committee, the SDEC, deserves nothing but our contempt. Pure. Simple. Contempt. What souless stupidity. The voters they want to attract will never vote for Democrats. Now, real Democrats are less likely to vote for Democrats, too.
