37. Yeah, I don't think many DUers push it into bashing

I see the terms "criticism" and "bashing" as subjective, though. What disturbs me more are the instances of Dems in office causing controversy. You mentioned Reid as an example. And then there were some people going after Pelosi a while back (Ryan in particular). I just hate to see the infighting that occurs between these elected Dems spill over into DU. Sometimes it seems like having to choose a favorite WWF persona.
