    This was my favorite article that I have ever read on inthesetimes. Epton didn’t abandon is left-wing view but was still critical of the democratic party, and how the “lets beat bush!” just won’t work.

    While this is a well-articulated piece of writing, the underlying assumption that all progressives want essentially the same thing doesn’t hold much water.  I’m all for shutting down the financial rape of America that is the military-industrial complex, but we’ll always need the military part of that equation.  Dismantling the Pentagon is more than dumb; a little renovation should suffice….

    I believe Democrats can’t win if the candidate is much further left than Bill Clinton.  Therefore, since I strongly detest the vicious Republican Party and everything Bush et al. do I’ll be happy to vote for most any Democrat.  I think the article suggests holding out for a faily liberal platform.  I like this in principle but think it, like Ralph Nader will lose. Hence Anything but bush will do for me.
