stopping the war in Iraq,
Not necessarily - they just want a little less of it. Lamont lost and
Lieberman won in a liberal state. Immediate withdrawal gets little
support, and a lot of the Dems who won were chosen by Emmanuel
because they weren’t seriously antiwar.
changing course in the economy,
Raise the minimum wage, yes; let the tax cuts expire in 2010, maybe;
how else?
stopping the attack on immigrants,
Except for the English-only law…
stopping the assault on gays
Except for the bans on same-sex marriage. It’s split the difference
again; overt homophobia loses, but so does overt homophilia.
and abortion, etc.
Only if it’s a 100% ban.
