that doesn't see the big picture. Who didn't allow the gay marriage amendment to get cloture 2 years ago? The Democrats. And if the Dems were in charge, it wouldn't have even come for a vote. So even though your Senator might be a bible banger that thinks gays are going to burn, the net result is still a protection of civil rights.

I have Hillary and Schumer. Schumer rocks, though he's not perfect. Hillary is a different issue. You know what though? I would re-elect Schumer (and Hillary) in a second. Schumer made the entire Dubai Ports story possible. Schumer has been all over wingnut judges. Hillary is another vote for Harry Reid. Hillary is also the highest profile elected woman in the country.

You're taking issues that people like myself agree with you on and separating yourself because not every Democrat is 100% as ideologically pure as you think they should be. You should read the second chapter of Crashing the Gates. It describes this perfectly. We can do more together than we can divided.
