Not too much. We don't have to let disrupting freepers pwn the forums. But if a soon-to-be-ex-Republican wants to explore what the Democratic Party has to offer, and he's respectful, and he's open to being sold, then I say we sell him on what it means to be progressive, rather than chase him off.

Do you want to be ideologically pure, or do you want to build a broad progressive majority and actually get things done in this country? If we want to get things done, we have to be ready to sell our viewpoint to anyone who will listen.
