Great post! Last year when I was being harped on by libs/Dems/progs for my support of the Democratic Party, well, I just kept saying, “Well, what the hell ya gonna do when the election rolls around and you’ve backed yourself in a corner to the point you won’t be able to say a nice thing about the party without looking like a goddamn hypocrite!”.</p> <p>I’ve never allowed Harry, Nancy, or even Rahm be the Democratic Party for me. WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, we’re the ones that really matter, and we’ll kick those out of office who don’t understand that. </p> <p>I watched Ted Kennedy today on the floor of the Senate screaming at the republican’s dirty tricks and I said, “Yep. I’m proud to be a Democrat”. ;-)</p> That’s right Jane! Great post!
