Hm, I didn't know that was the case. That's good, then. I just wish it was someone a little less fringe and a little more mainstream. Clinton had some great ideas about bringing "fringe" Dems back in line with America. He got shunned with that suggestion, for the most part, in 1990. He flew through the primaries, though, and by 1992, no one was doubting him any more as he took the Presidency. They WISHED they'd listened by 1994, when voters sent a clear message about the lunacy and general ass-hattery of the Democratic Party of the time, breaking a 40-year stranglehold the Democrats had on the House and Senate, and giving it to the Republicans.

FINALLY, some Democrats have woken the fuck up and smelled the coffee. Although I am a registered Dem, the ONLY Democrats I've felt comfortable voting for in YEARS have been those running as moderates. The unfortunate thing is peopole like Nancy Pelosi, "Dirty" Harry Reid, Jack Murtha, and others, who continue to pound the "we are lunatic fringe-thinkers" into the minds of Americans. They're virtually untouchable on the local level because their voting base is ALSO filled with lunatic-fringers. The PROBLEM is that on the national level, they're out of touch ... and they reflect SO poorly on the party as a whole, I'm ashamed to be associated with them. I want to spit every time they hold a press conference and make the rest of us look like complete assholes.

Not all of us HATE Bush. I dislike the guy, but I can see the good, too. I'm not blind to it, as some have made themselves. Most of us are moderate, picking some issues from the right, and some from the left. It doesn't always have to be "us" against "them." It's just too devicive, and I think if it continues, we're headed for an even more serious rift in the United States, perhaps even a sundering of the union.
