50. Reid As Majority "Leader"? He's Not Even A Minority "Leader"!
"What's the name of this website? Try to answer that one honestly too."

That's an easy one. This is called the Democratic Underground.

"who do you prefer for majority leader? Frist or Reid?"

Is Reid "leading" the opposition to Bush's policies and appointments in the Senate? It sure doesn't look like it. In fact, Reid is rapidly becoming one of Bush's chief enablers in the Senate and I'm not just talking about the anti-worker, anti-consumer bankruptcy bill.

When Senator Reid begins to lead an effective and consistent opposition to George Bush in the Senate let me know. I'll consider supporting him when that actually happens.

""If he caucuses with the Dems and/or runs with some sort of Democratic affiliation, then I'm willing to accept him as an independent."

Who do you expect Sander's to caucus with .... the 35 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucas? They have been marginalized and have no power inside the Democratic Party or in the House. And not a single member of the United States Senate has joined the Congressional Progressive Caucus!

Sander's always meets with more liberal members of Congress. Only problem is they can't seem to get anything accomplished in Washington. They are always being undermined by people like Senator Reid and other Bush enablers!

Perhaps more Democratic members of Congress who actually oppose Bush ought to caucus with Congressman Sanders. They might learn something if they follow his lead.
