See, GUEST, this is just more of your sick trying to twist the truth. The simple fact is that it was you, and has been you, that has consistently called for being separate from the Dems. It has been you, in course and crude terms, who has vilified the concept of consensus building. You are a weak minded and poor excuse for an intellectual. Your bitterness guides you, and the only time you are decent is when others agree with you. Besides that, your manners stink. In one thread you indicated you were a teacher. I cringe to think of the implications of that.

Democrats, liberals, and progressives need to remember where their strength lies. It is in bringing the disadvantaged, the average person, the labor folks, the environmentalists, bring them all together in an effective voting bloc. To do this requires finding common ground among often competing philosophies. But it can be done, and must be done, or these folks will keep kicking our asses. The rich will get richer, and the poor will get more desperate. That is a sure recipe for war in the streets. But I believe that is what you think you want. I can't wait for it to happen to you. It would be interesting to see your reaction.
