157. I'm an Obama supporter ....

Fri Jun 27, 2014, 02:04 AM

Jun 2014

because I'm a DEMOCRAT!!! For some strange reason I assumed everyone here would be as well. No one will ever agree with every policy from any president no matter how great they are. Even FDR had his failings.

When I first came to DU there was a lot about the DLC and the Clinton's being part of it. Honestly I had never heard of the DLC until then and this forum really educated me about many things and started me researching facts... thankfully. I'm more of a watcher than a poster but what I've noticed more recently is how many are attacking each other. Maybe it's the acrimony in the air nowadays.

So I guess I'm a party loyalist so don't flame me for it. I would rather cut off my right arm before I would ever vote for or support any candidate who wasn't a Democrat. And they don't have to be perfect!
