Would you prefer the Democratic nominee for president to be someone who
would denounce the junta! And call for a restoration of democracy in the USA.

because we here are the hardcore Democrats. ;-)

Seriously though, I knew this site wasn't representative of national Democrats because of the large numbers of people here who support DK.

7. A friend and I were talking about which Dem candidates we like,

8. Semantics

When you consider how badly the WH distorted the 'evidence' in order to garner support for the war, 'support' becomes nothing more than a literal definition; some/all who 'supported' the war would NOT have done so, IMO, had they been told the TRUTH.

11. Did anyone see Lieberman on Tony Snow this morning?
