Reply #12: Based on that standard then, people must think Nixon is a Democrat.

What you said isn't valid anyway. No one is going to call a President that spent nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus to stabilize an economic crisis a Republican. Nor would they a President that passed a healthcare bill that provides subsidies to pay for health insurance on a sliding income scale (its still welfare, whether we like the way its structured or not) or told health insurance companies who they could and could not turn down for insurance and how much money they were allowed to spend on noncase expenses or who ended the ban on gays in the military or who gave people tax credits to trade in old cars for newer, more fuel efficient cars or who gave women more rights to legally challenge pay discrimination or who strengthened hate crime laws against GLBT folk or who doubled food stamp funding or who createad the most diverse cabinet in American history in terms of race, gender and sexual orientation.

But please, respond with an obligatory post full of cliches about helping banks and not ending the wars at the drop of a hat and throw in some Bradley Manning nonsense while you are at it.
