Two little things...

From the HillBuzz weblog, comes this post, echoing what I have been telling friends and relatives (whether they wanted to hear it or not).

Two Issues - Because of Obama - Democrats Can Never Use Again

We just realized there are now two issues Democrats can never use effectively against Republicans ever again, because of Barack Obama:

(1) Voting Rights --- On May 31st, 2008, the Democrats lost any moral ground in voting rights, and also forfeited all grievances for Florida's handling of the 2000 Gore Recount. When the Democratic Party ruled against voters in favor of Obama on May 31st, 2008, the Democrats lost all moral authority on the issue of voting rights.

(2) Campaign Finance Reform --- On June 19th, 2008, the Democrats lost any moral ground on the issue of campaign finance reform, when presumptive nominee Barack Obama backed out of his firm pledge to hold to current campaign finance reform law. If the Democrats don't hold themselves to this in 2008, why should the Republicans, in this or any other year?

How many more items are the Democrats going to add to this list of issues they can never use against the Republicans again, by following Obama's lead?

If the Democrats keep adding to this list, they beg the question: "What does the Democratic Party stand for now, under Obama, when everything it stood for before was tossed aside in favor of Obama?"
