If you do not see the difference between advocacy and bribery, then I don't know what to say Neocon, if we have reached a state of affairs where one side of any question can saturate the airwaves, buy all the access and fund the campaigns of legislators desperate for money, then the functional difference between their "advocacy" and a straightforward quid pro quo becomes very hard to discern. All that's lacking is the explicit bargain, but smart people have other ways to get the message across. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. All of the aforementioned causes are practically constituent groups of the Democratic Party, and constitute, for the most part, its left wing Everyone I know who could be considered as part of these progressive movements thinks that the Democratic Party has no left wing. They are Democrats by default; if they had someplace else to go, they would go. They just think that the Democrats are in hock to slightly less scary bunch of corporate interests. From your words, your definition of the "Left" must include the center; for example is the Democratic Leadership Committee a leftist organization in your view?
