A call to holders of traditional Democratic ideals.

40. I agree - excellent reply, T! And I am a strong supporter of O. BUT

I still have some disagreements with some of his policies and decisions. However, I don't feel that I can adequately discuss those problems and disagreements here BECAUSE of the anti-Obama posts.

So many of the posts I speak of twist the facts and are so full of "spin" that I find it difficult to have a serious discussion. They reek of Rovian techniques - as if some Leftists learned the wrong lesson. Rather than expose these twisted facts to the light of day they adopted the techniques, instead.

Politics are never black and white. I think Obama has made some critical mistakes, but overall I support him. There are many D's that I think are DINOs, but that's part of what I like about the DEM Party. While the REP's walk in lock-step, the DEMs are encouraged to think for themselves. But, still, I would like to see more DEMs work for actual Progress.

And I agree that we MUST "save D seats while pressuring even harder for the return of real Democrats".

So, even though you are an "O critic" and I am an "O cheerleader', I think we agree a whole lot more than we disagree. And I look forward to working with you in the future.
