This is the letter I would like the President and the Democratic party to hear right now.
Mr. President and Rahm (because I know this is your bullcrap too),
Joe Lieberman betrayed the democratic base in several ways and the voters, YOUR voters, worked to remove him from the party. Your response was to join Bill Clinton campaigning for Joe Lieberman and to welcome him back into his power and privilege as an "independent" in the Senate. While there, he betrayed the voters again by threatening to filibuster the public option and medicare expansion. . . among other things.
Blanche Lincoln betrayed the democratic base in several ways including by threatening to filibuster the public option which you claimed to support (but those darn conservative senators were preventing 60 votes. . right Rahm?). The voters, YOUR voters worked to primary her out of the party. Your response was to join Bill Clinton campaigning for Blanche Lincoln where she squeaked back into her power and privilege in the senate.. My prediction is that both of these people will betray us (and what you will CLAIM to want but gosh darn it 60 votes blah blah bullcrap) again.
Mr. President, Rahm . . .you Bill Clinton and the Democratic party leadership no longer represent me and my interests (if you ever did). Not only am I considering dropping the Democratic party, I do not trust your judgment any longer. I will have a very hard time voting for you or anyone you, or Bill Clinton, endorse ever again.
Respectfully,
Roy Plisko
