Reply #111: Absolutely right!

I have been meaning to say this myself: we have to stop this nonsense meme of "they are all the same" w.r.t. the two parties. They are palpably not the same -- the Dem "leaders" for some unfathomable reason try to blur the lines in public (TV shows etc), but their Senate/House statements, and by and large, their votes are solid gold! Some of their well performances are positively tear-inducing! My heart sometimes aches to think that their real goodness never gets to see the light of the day and even we on the left tend to have such contempt for them...

Watch C-SPAN -- learn more about what the Dems in Congress are doing, before passing judgement on them. Votes alone are not very good representations of the fights and causes they are championing.

That said, though, they do need to get away from chasing corporate dollars and therefore blurring the lines sometimes in word and deed...
