A thank you to Democratic Underground, and a plea.

206. There is a fundamental disagreement between factions of the party

One group believes that the way to rescue the country from the Republicans is to meet them half way (which actually means 9/10ths of the way), regardless of how wacky and malignant they are, and hope that a few "moderates" reject their fascism and vote with us. They use "liberal" as an insult, just like the residents of Fox Nation and GlenBeckistan. The other group believes that the party apparatchik should move far away from the Republicans, stand firm on Social Security, Medicare (for everyone), environmental issues, public education, reproductive rights, GLBT rights, and so on. IOW, draw a very stark line between us and the Repukes, and let the voters make a decision.

You would think that this could be discussed at a high level, but seriously, when threads as idiotic as this one get a hundred recs, pretty much all is lost. Cheney has come out in favor of gay marriage (mostly because his daughter wants them). So I guess that means to the BOG that I "support Cheney".
