97. And maybe because, like many of us here, they are sick of the Dems letting
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 08:28 PM by kath
us down over and over again because they have no backbone (and they've been so busy keepin' that powder dry, and fear that it will happen again.

Lots of us Dems want the party to start standing for something - a good start would be to stand for the common people that they USED to represent, instead of the corporations. And of course to work hard to stop this fokkin' illegal war - which is why a lot of people voted Dem in November.
