The Democrats, naturally are saying it's all the GOP's fault. One Democratic blogger and paid cheerleader sent me a message that said in part "The problem is the GOP, end of story." That is certainly the message the Democratic Party establishment wants the LGBT and Hispanic communities to lap up like sheep or trained circus dogs. And if one looks solely at today's roll call, that ploy makes initial sense.
The cynic in me, however, tells me otherwise. Both political parties are all too happy keeping the status quo - regardless of the lip service the powers that be in the Democratic Party may say to the contrary.
