27. I'm very very tired of "Progressive" Democrats calling centrist Democrats

Republicans.

I really find it hard to see a number of "Progressive" Democrats as anything but reactionary and isolationist.

If you want your own party with a small tent...please, now, go join the Green Party!

Policy-wise, as far as social issues are concerned, I'm as leftist as most Greens and "Progressive" Democrats, but I think we need to live together in one nation...and most "Progressive" Democrats I read here seem not to agree.

Anything to the right of Dennis Kucinich is a Republican??? Oh please...go back and read a little history of this nation and the proud history of the Democratic Party.

I stick by my assertion that Dennis Kucinich himself would be appalled by this type of baiting and exclusionary politics.

All 9 of our Presidential candidates run a wide spectrum of ideas but what unites them is they all welcome those ideas within the Democratic Party...and that is admirable! I don't see the candidates calling each other Republicans.

As Gov. Dean says...we want to be proud to be Democrats again...and part of that is being inclusive not exclusive.
