Well, of course I think so, but I regularly disagree with what sometimes seems like DU conventional wisdom:

I have a tolerance for RINOs from red states (sound kind of like the name of a fusion punk country band)

I wasn't troubled when my Senator (Leahy) voted for Roberts.

I don't think bushco is as bad as Hitler. At least not yet, and not in deed. Although a case can be made for comparing 1933 Germany to 2006 America, there are differences,

I don't support federal gun control. It should be a state issue.

I'm as concerned about Roe being so eroded that it remains as a hollow constitutional "right", as I am about it being overturned.

I don't think America is responsible for all the evils on the face of this planet, and our country's evils don't negate the the evils of others.

I don't think that bushco should be tried for war crimes in the Hague. I support investigations and impeachment, as well as Feingold's censure resolution.

I don't think the MSM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the republican party. I see it largely as corporate; with some branches that lean toward a liberal stance and others that lean toward the right. Mostly I see them as lazy and too easily bullied.

I'm not convinced that the repukes stole the election in 2004. Yes, there was nefarious activity, and manipulation of machinery, but I don't know that it was enough to change the results.

For over 20 years I've worked for liberal causes and candidates. I can find much to fault with dems, but I remain one. I don't think they've all betrayed us or the country despite wishing they'd fight better and harder, despite my grave concerns about the effect of money on the politics of our elected dems.
