The democrats are not by and large "pro-war". You are taking a vote out of context to suit your own agenda. As another person said, other than perhaps Lieberman and Zell, pro-war is a GROSS misrepresentation of why a yes vote was granted on IWR.

NAFTA was passed by MORE republicans than democrats and most democrats believe in FAIR TRADE, not free trade. Do I need to explain the difference?

And the notion that democrats don't wish to make corporations more responsible is ludicrous on the face of it. Why do you think corporations favor republicans so much if that is the case?

I'll be the first to agree there is too much corporate influence in ALL politics, but you don't see the democrats out there trying to weaken enviromnental laws, open wilderness to industry, give huge corporate giveaways, and weaken worker protections the way the republicans are.

If I believed the two parties were exactly the same, I'd be the first person to drop my party affiliation. But I don't because it's not factual.
