Reply #17: Thanks, mkultra! You surprised me.

That response was so over the top that I got a truly hearty laugh from it.

If you get time you might want to read over what I've written over the years here.

A lot of it is about convincing disappointed Democrats to stick with the party at every election. That the changes many of us would like to see are truly buried under the Republicans. That change time is during the primaries.

So why hate me?

I not only don't hate you, I do GOTV stuff with all types of Democrats every cycle (except 2008 when illness stopped me). Depending on where you live, maybe with you.

I support policies. Democratic policies. I don't tie my support to individuals. And when an individual with great influence consistently advocates un-Democratic policies to our Democratic president, I can't help but be pleased to see that particular person lose his influence.

So, again, someone explain to me why being happy about this guy, this un-Democratic guy leaving, gets me a tounge-lashing here at Democratic Underground?
