Reply #26: I found this odd.

From the OP

"they rack up their postings by posting in obscure forums on DU such as the Pets Forum or some similar forum."
This from someone who has racked up over 4,600 posts in 6 months.

In my YEARS as an active member of DU, I have a differing observation.
It seems to me that those who want to suppress reform in the Democratic Party suddenly appear from nowhere with 1000 posts.

I am a Democrat, and will continue to criticize the Democratic Party.
I don't expect the Republicans to represent the American Working Class.
I DO expect the Democrats to stand up for the average working American, and I WILL voice my opinion and observations in an attempt to salvage what is left of the once represenative Party of FDR, JFK, LBJ, and JCarter.

I want to congratulate the following Dems (and One Independent) for taking a stand agains the Anti-Democratic re-institution of the Patriot Act. (SEE, I'm PRAISING Democrats)

Daniel Akaka (D-HI),
Tom Harkin (D-IA),
Carl Levin (D-MI),
Jeff Bingaman (D-NM),
Ron Wyden (D-OR),
James Jeffords (I-VT),
Patrick Leahy (D-VT),
Patty Murray (D-WA),
Russ Feingold (D-WI),
Robert Byrd (D-WV).

The rest voted with Bush and against freedom.

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
