I am a *liberal* and I'm very proud to be a *liberal*. I vote my conscience, not a party. I am registered as a Democrat, and I generally vote that way. The last Republican for whom I voted was Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum (R-KS) who was an honest, highly principled, socially progressive Republican in the mold of her father, former KS Governor Alf Landon (who ran against FDR). I would consider voting for any Republican who would stand up against the current and total lunacy in the Republican party.

I hope that the apparent current awakening in this country will result in a liberal coalition which can put our country on the correct track. The DLC is a wedge group who's only concern is trying to take the Democratic Party to a position of the Republicans of the fifties. The DLC needs to realize that "That ain't gonna happen!!" If they continue to divide the party, they will *lose* the party because no self-respecting liberal will stay with them. I certainly won't.
