Damn Proud To Be A Democrat
By: Blue Texan Friday February 1, 2008 7:04 am

I don't know about you, but after watching the debate last night, I'm pretty excited about our candidates. They were articulate, knowledgeable, passionate, reasonable grown-ups.

No idiotic calls to double Gitmo. No squabbling about who thinks Iraq is more awesome. No nativist demagoguery. And they both accept evolution!

I didn't think it was possible a couple weeks ago, but Hamsher is looking like the smartest one in the room -- again -- when she predicted a Clintobama ticket http://firedoglake.com/2008/01/14/is-the-press-out-to-destroy-the-democrats/. In the throes of martinlutherkingjesseefairytalegate, I didn't think that was possible. I'm sold.

Kennedy and Johnson were a ticket, remember.
But even if that doesn't happen, I'm ready to go to war with either one of these candidates. I like Hillary on health care. I like Obama on the war. I like them both on a bunch of stuff.

1. I agree with Blue Texan

2. I agree - but wish being a Democrat did not imply

being a member of the Democratic Party.

I sure like seeing Democratic ideals being displayed and practiced.

I wish the various factions of the Party had those same values.

(Still PISSED about the Florida disenfranchisement. Do not believe disenfranchisement has ever been a Democratic Ideal. I thought that was a key-belief of the R's.)
