As the posts that first called me a freeper and then a paid operative of the DNC have been removed I'll answer you here and also clarify my op a bit.

I've been a member for 10 days as one member pointed out and have yet to make a donation as I was unaware of the need to do so before engaging in conversation.

The op tries to point out that not all Dem's are spineless and calling the whole party such when ALL the heavy hitters voted NO today is counterproductive and rude.

As there is NO mechanism for rouge Democrats to be punished for not following suite or TOEing the party line it is counter productive to label BOXER, CONYERS, KUCINICH et all spineless while threatening to ditch a party now RUN BY HOWARD DEAN. Dean btw was elected partly due to the grassroots support he has.

As for Will Pitt, I used him as an example of a committed Democrat that wouldn't throw a tantrum and threaten to abandon the party just because he didn't get the result he hoped for.
