it makes me no different than Ann Coulter...but I would argue that the side I am on makes me "better" than her.
you can laugh all you like, and I know you have, but at the end of the day, politics in America is and will continue to be a team sport. I want my team to get on offense and remain on offense...BECAUSE I FERVENTLY BELIEVE THAT THE BEST THING FOR AMERICA WOULD BE THE ADOPTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM. We can't do that unless we are in the majority, and I have no interest in taking steps to reduce our numbers rather than increase them. I know full well that ALL politicians are, to varying degrees, egotistical opportunitist power hungry hypocrites. Having said that, I would prefer to see democratic egotistical opportunitist power hungry hypocrites because they will be the ones that help to enact the PLATFORM that I believe in.
That really is the distinction that is clear to me: I am willing to accept hypocrisy in democrats because, hypocritical or not, they will work to enact the platform that I believe in. Craig is a hypocrite, but republicans were quite happy to have him on board, because even though he was a self loathing gay hypocrite, he was a steady vote for THEIR platform which THEY fervently believe in.
