Now where do you get the notion that after having bent over for the Democratic Party leadership for THIRTY VOTING YEARS that I demand ideological purity, or that I am only satisfied with political "perfection?" I have spent most of my adult life turning the other cheek for what my party's leadership deems is in my best interest, and I've supported them for DECADES. Don't lecture me about not being being willing to fight for progressive causes, or about being a "crybaby."

Yes, nearly 300 dems voted against the IWR, but in the end the DNC still ejected everyone from the national convention who expressed criticism of the illegal invasion of Iraq. No criticism of the "war on terror" scam was allowed either. Sorry, I want to be represented by a party that stands for the same things I stand for.
