Reply #146: Generally, Mad, I am a face and issue person.

[Tigress DEM]

I support the people who I can see and feel I can trust. I put money down on specific issues. If I am paying for something, I want to know exactly where my money goes.

Since DNC is a large umbrella over the DEMS I guess I just don't think much about it.

I'm probably even guilty of lumping overall support or lack thereof by our elected officials and party mechanism into a group of "them."

Even though I know for sure I don't like DLC because of their stated Republican Lite agenda and I do like DEAN and no big problems with the DNC, I'd still like to see DEAN talk about this whole bouncy flip flop voting the party does. He may not have any control, but can't he at least make the people's case heard to elected officials and say, "Come on, guys, have a heart."

Trust in government is at an all time low right now.

I feel mortally wounded that 19 DEMs let Alito through instead of standing up for our Democracy and at least showing solidarity against the maddness.

I am outraged that another 19 (not all the same - some of those who stood up so courageously against Alito) sold us out to pass a tax cut bill for the rich.

And KOS may be "nicer" to Hackett now, but that doesn't explain why they are on a payroll for a political candidate and trashed his opponent at all. Sounds like a conflict of interest to me.
