country, I have learned, since the end of the Bush administration when we opposed all bad policies, that anything goes. We are seeing now support for Monsanto on DU eg. And anger at those of us WHO HAVE NOT CHANGED! I don't recall anyone every being angry at me on a Democratic board for speaking out against Monsanto. NOW I am the recipient of personal attacks, accused of what is apparently the WORST SIN a Democrat can now commit, disagree with the President.

Something will have to change soon, or the Dem Party will be no more. I hear so many Democrats who are absolutely disgusted with the constant caving in of the party they have supported for so long.

I am just trying to figure out how I could have been so right, according to DU, during the Bush years, and so wrong, with the exact same opinions, since Bush left office.
