The DemocraticUnderground can say things the Democratic Party cannot say.

489. We get it already. Now the problem with that graphic is this:

a) It's just a graphic, and doesn't tell me a damn thing about any of them; when I click the link, I get the same graphic with a few different names, but still as wordless and mute as a globed fruit, to paraphrase Mr Macleish;

b) I have no idea which issues the cartoonist is using to plot these politicians, or what votes, or whose assessments, or how much weight s/he's giving anything, that is if s/he actually used any objective criteria, which I doubt; and finally

c) Sticking Ron Paul in the same quadrant as Obama makes the whole thing utterly ridiculous, even malicious in the sense that it feeds the stupid and toxic meme that politicians are all alike and that R and D are meaningless distinctions. That's a lie designed to confuse and discourage Democratic voters, as I imagine this graphic also is, and I strongly recommend that you reject it.
