Reply #103: People wonder why we're bitter... [View All]

I gave loads of money to Bill Clinton in 1992, donated hours and hours of time to volunteer for his campaign, and in return I got Don't Ask, Don't Tell and DOMA.

Nice kick in the teeth. Hey, ignore me - fine. Just don't make my life worse, okay?

But I'm still a Democrat and I still vote a straight-party ticket. Why? Because there are still other issues I care about and Democrats represent those views better. That doesn't mean that I consider the lip service we get from the party acceptable - I don't. Harold Ford's comments last night absolutely nauseated me. But in all honesty, there's very little alternative.
