Vote ’em out

Digby is in transit from Yearly Kos and it is unfortunate because today is one of many that I would be refreshing this page to see what she has to say.

I’ve really got nothing. Nothing that hasn’t already been said by Glenn Greenwald, Meteor Blades or Jack Balkin.

There’s really as little to add to all that as there is life left in our Constitution at this point. Personally, I thought this part was pretty good while it lasted:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The Democrats have seriously alienated a significant portion of their base and they will not replace those voters with the Fox News viewers they sought to appease. It’s not easy to win an argument (if it’s possible at all) against people who claim there’s no difference between the parties. Right now, the results are the same as they were seven months ago.

The goal, however, has to be to change the composition of the Democratic Party. There is no alternative that has a better chance of success. The only other choice is to give up. Why do that?

We need better Democrats. There are too many right now who are totally worthless.

UPDATE: Howie Klein, as usual, is providing solutions.
