Reply #73: Well, I guess you aren't in the Puritan Branch of the Party, then.

Oh, well, continue on the old tired "Best Government Money Can Buy" candidates and see what you get. It is a sad day when a Democrat calls Kucinich "irrevelent."

The invocation of Trotsky is usually used for opponents of the neo-cons, not for an analogy involving Democrats, by the way, though I am sure the DLC, a group with which I shall never be invited to lunch, sees Dennis as a Trotskyite . . . all the theory and not pragmatic triangulation, an eternal revolution in American morals, foreign relations, and business until all is right with the world.

Well, we need someone to tell us what is wrong point blank and not mince words while playing footsies with the bank. Someone who has a complete view of the world and seeks to improve it, not continue on an old course that is becoming our own downfall.

I am sorry that Mr. Gravel is old and Dennis is "funny looking," by the way. They are rather accidents of nature and neither preempt them from having their voices heard.

In short, "How about a nice steaming cup of STFU?"

Go worship at the feet of the sheep in the herd, following the media anointed shepherds, if you wish, but any Democrat who is willing to run has a right and a place so to do without a single Democrat's opposition. We have a whole train load of "Terra! Terra! Terra!" yellers to fight, not Democrats.
