This article discusses the plans for elimination of Democratic presidential candidates, having links with energy company Enron Corp., from the list the elections 2004. The impetus has originated from the left liberal progressives. It is not that Vernon Democrats got a lot of money themselves from the now ruined energy company, but they are implicated in more significant ways. "Enron Democrats" are compromised by their own past behavior, which explains why the Democratic party's reaction to this spectacle is so muted. Apostasy is a safe vote for Democrats, at least on financial issues that are obscure and complicated.
