Reply #17: This is what is wrong the dem party today [View All]

"that excluded members for whatever reason"

The republicans don't tolerate treachery in their own ranks. If a Republican congressperson were to go around endorsing Clinton and other hated lefties (or at least perceived lefties) you can be reasonably sure that Republican will not be tolerated by the others.

I am not saying we shouldn't allow dissent in the democratic party, but come on. We have to draw a line somewhere, and endorsing major opponents of the democratic party (i.e. Bush) who's reelection will have dire consequences for the nation and world is going too far.

Then of course people who are "happy" to have as many "democrats" in the congress as possible come to places like DU when a couple of those "democrats" decide to back stab us all. Oh so surprised to see a hand full of them break a fillibuster, give sufficient votes for a bad bill to be passed, etc. "How did that happen??? We have enough "democrats" for it not have happened!"
