while the Progressive Caucus is the largest Caucus in the Democratic Party,
and yet has no voice in the White House or Party Leadership.

*Not a single member of the Progressive Caucus was given a position of power in the Obama Administration in 2008.

*The MAJORITY of Democrats voted AGAINST the Iraq War Resolution,
yet not a single Democrat who voted AGAINST the IWR was appointed to a position of power, or given a position in the Obama White House.

The Progressive Caucus, the LARGEST Caucus in the Democratic Party, has been completely marginalized by the Money/Wall Street conservative minority Caucus of the Democratic Party.

THAT is the difference.
