Party line rules Democratic candidates

Why do so many people get wrapped around the party and not the issues? I read the editorials and you can see the talking points from the Democratic Party, and now we get scripted mailings that has the same talking points for each of their opponents.

Giannoulias can't take care of Broadway Bank, Bright Star, and the Illinois state treasury, so we want to elect him to now plunder the Federal Treasury as a senator?

Melissa Bean dodges her constituents to attend public forums and sneaks around to the secret meetings with local officials and then when she has a public meeting she brings “security (thug)?” If she believes in what she is doing, then why is she hiding from her constituents to talk to us about what concerns us?

We need answers, especially regarding the high unemployment of veterans in her District. We are the employers of the politicians!
