171. No, it's nothing like that at all.

You think the only moral aspect to politics is about sexual harrassment, or personal rights (since all you talk about is Moor, Franken and Reid). You are missing the fundamental point about society - they we can, and should, help each other, and that's a moral choice. So you're wrong to say that Democrats don't have the moral high ground. They are not perfect, but when someone (who didn't say "no big deal" ) brings up an example in which the Democrats clearly do have the moral high ground, you dismiss it as "getting stuff".

The problem here was your slur of Democrats with "kind of hurts the idea that one side actually has the moral high ground, and a meaningful philosophy that isn't just merely convenient". No, keeping children healthy is not "merely convenient". It is a goal, and a moral one. Helping other people is indeed a "meaningful philosophy". We're not Randian objectivists on DU.
