I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Why do the Democrats Lose? Because they don't act like Democrats

The Bankruptcy Bill was a lesson on why the Democratic party continues to lose ground. It won't look out for it's constituency. Eighteen Democrats voted for a Bankruptcy Law that was so flawed that even some on the right side of the blogosphere opposed it. Here is Steve Soto's list of the "Democrats" who voted for the bill with his comments:
Blanche Lincoln-Arkansas (kiss off 2008 you piece of garbage)
David Pryor-Arkansas
Ken Salazar, Colorado (not up for reelection until 2010)
Joe Biden-Delaware (kiss off 2008 you piece of garbage)
Tom Carper-Delaware (owes his ass to MBNA)
Bill Nelson-Florida (up for reelection next year)
Daniel Inouye-Hawaii
Evan Bayh-Indiana (kiss off 2008 you piece of garbage)
Mary Landrieu-Louisiana (forget anything national, lady)
Debbie Stabenow-Michigan (I had my fill of you too)
Max Baucus-Montana (he'll cave now on Social Security)
Ben Nelson-Nebraska (up for reelection next year)
Harry Reid-Nevada (let Kerry or Durbin have the caucus)
Jeff Bingaman-New Mexico
Hillary-abstaining (Bill's in the hospital)
Kent Conrad-North Dakota
Tim Johnson-South Dakota (owes his ass to Citibank)
Robert Byrd-West Virginia
Herb Kohl-Wisconsin (up for reelection next year)
I agree with Steve.
Let these pieces of garbage know what you think. I'm done with each one of them for good.

Folks, we've got far bigger problems than fighting Karl Rove when we have lame-assed corporate Democrats snuffing out consumers.
Unlike my totally lame congressman in the house, David Wu, I was glad to see my Democratic Senator, Ron Wyden, was not on the list of shame. If the Democratic party cannot be purged of the "Republican Lite" it will continue to be a party with no constituency and continue to lose.
