Why does criticism = hatred? I'm with Ryan on this one. The Dems have done nothing but give soundbites since becoming the majority. Yet they've backed down every time it counted. Being blindly loyal to the Dems is no different than the die-hard Bush supporters who would support him even if they personally witnessed him eating babies. (Eating a zygote would be a different matter. His base would burn him at the stake for that.)
I wish I had $$$ to burn. I'd be a firebrand, like Barbara Boxer and Dennis Kucinich. (sp?) the Dems would be shamed into having a backbone.
