133. I fully understand and concur to do what is best for Democracy to thrive.
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 04:57 AM by ShortnFiery
by voting for Democrats. However, also please note that, unlike the republicans, you don't woo independent green-oriented people to "Join Up" with bully-pulpit tactics.

For the past two Presidential Elections, please don't accuse this green-oriented person from not supporting the DLC Democratic Nominees, because I did fully support you.

I deplore NAFTA and a few other pro-business stances some of these DLCers take, but I'm intelligent and know that THIS (holding your nose and voting for ProBigBusiness and war mongering Democrats) is our only chance to get the issues that most matter to us (ending of Iraqi Invasion and some long overdue regulations of Big-Business Gone Wild) EVENTUALLY addressed.

Yes, we're backed into a corner, but don't take us liberals for granted ... well, if you MUST take us for granted to move to the center, please don't disparage us?

The Republicans have the lion's share of big business and lobbying corruption but there's sin on the other side of the aisle also.

It's best to keep mum rather than to publically disrespect your base: Working Class Voters and People of Color.

Given all the compromises (years of voting for DINOs)the liberal side of the Democratic party has made for the DLC, the above is not much to ask of these more centrist (and those party is all driven) Democrats?
