After all, I'm not for NAFTA.

And I'm not for enabling permanent war through inaction.

And I'm not for confirming Reich Wing Supreme Court
Justices (or Appeals Court judges either).

And I'm not for "welfare reform", or "bankruptcy
reform", or any of these other sops to the wealthy
that masquerade as "reform".

And I'm not for permanent sanctions against countries
that result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

And I'm not for abborgating international treaties
when it is handy or suits the needs of the Executive.

But one of these "Democrats" (or her husband and a
bunch of Bush-enablers from her faction of the party)
*IS* for all of these things. And if she were elected,
we'd all assume that all was well again and go back
to sleep while she and her ilk continued the great
tearing-down of what once made America great.

So if "Democrats", or the currently-ruling power elite
in the "Democratic" Party stands for these things, maybe
you're right. Maybe I'm not a "real" Democrat any more.

But at least McCain is 1) openly erceived as our political
enemy (rathe rthan being incorrectly viewed as "one of us"
and 2) stands four-square opposed to torture and in
support of the treaties that our country has negotiated.
