Reply #31: I'm not sure.

I'll have to think through it.

To be honest, I've posted almost nothing about the Senate race in Massachusetts, positive or negative. I don't live there. I understand why it's such a hot topic, of course, but I haven't seen the rash of "vote for Brown/hope C. loses" threads. I've only seen the threads throwing fits about them.

Probably because I haven't been here much this week. :shrug:


I hope I do a decent job of staying on issue, so that if I post something negative, it's about the issue, not the DUer. Not perfect, by any means, but decent.

As far as the Democratic Party goes? I support the party as far as they support the issues at the top of my list. They've been failing for 9 years now to do so. I can't promise not to post something negative about the party, or about elected Democrats who have been complicit in the lurch to the right the nation has been on since Ronald Reagan took office.

That said, I can certainly refrain from any "anti-Coakley" posts, which would be against DU rules at this point, anyway. I certainly don't want another R in the Senate, whether I personally approve of Coakley as the Democratic candidate or not. That's up to the Democrats in MA.

That's about as far as I can go with a "Peace Treaty" during this campaign season, so I guess I'm an "other."

Meanwhile, I'm actually more concerned about measures 66 and 67 in my state, since, if they don't pass, another bunch of teachers will be heading to the chopping block this spring. Those measures will make a bigger difference to all the people in my state, imo, than whether or not the Democrats retain a majority in Congress, since they seem determined to make a majority irrelevant by constantly compromising principles to make the opposition happy.
