And I still say you'll have to pry my Dem card out of my cold dead hands

So there.

If one statement by one person is enough to send you over the edge, you didn't have that tight a grip in the first place.

4. Re:

I don't think I could vote Republican. At least currently. So many Republicans seem like a bunch of Frank Burnses.

But if I didn't like the Democratic candidate(s) in an upcoming election, I might vote Republican. But I'm definitely a solid Democrat.

5. remember when you vote, consider giving John Conyers power

A Dem majority in the house creates REAL investigations.

8. Indeed people forget about what they'd be voting for

It's not about punishment. It's not about one person. It's about getting power out of the hands of corrupt men. You don't have to like every Dem in the party. But if they're in general headed in the direction you wanna go, then that's what you're voting for.

6. Flashback 8 years.

What if Clinton proclaimed that straight people's commitment to each other no longer counted for anything.

How would you feel?

Asshole.

[LittleClarkie]

7. Clinton is not the party

He is only one member of the party.

I am another.

And you'd STILL have to pry my Dem card out of my cold. dead. straight. hands.

9. I'm no party loyalist, and generally despise them as a locksteppers...

to begin with. I work to elect dems because, at the moment, they represent the closest to my political beliefs in working towards(sometimes too slowly), equal rights for all, separation of church and state, strengthening of social programs, and hopefully ending unnecessary wars entirely. If the Party moves away from those beliefs entirely, what is the point in remaining loyal at all if it isn't reciprocated?

I can understand the Civil Union versus Marriage debate at the moment, but only view Civil Unions as a STEPPING STONE to full equal marriage rights, so the Democratic Party is the closest to those beliefs, at the moment. However, if they push for Civil Unions to be the end all, be all "solution" then they diverge from those beliefs entirely, and therefore haven't EARNED a vote.

10. Can I be the first to say

"Your conditions are acceptable"?

I always suspected that alien of being a Republican, anyhow...

11. We may have flaws

but I seriously doubt we would be in this huge mess if any of OUR presidential candidates had been elected. We may not make the necessary social changes fast enough for my liking, but we generally head in the forward direction rather than backward. So I save $110 dollars a year in taxes - that's not a very good reason to send my country into further debt. Besides every bit of this "tax saving" they brag about only gets tacked on somewhere else - more state and local taxes, extra fees on utility bills etc. I'm not even going to start in on how I feel about our current foreign policy and the total lack of diplomatic skills.

12. DU is nothing without hysteria

and I have noticed you never seem to get caught up in it. Kudos to your clear perspective. :toast:

13. Dems: the lesser of two evils?

More importantly- No more electronic voting.

My list could go on, but that sums up what I believe is the most important thing.
