5. In sync if you ask them item by item...
... To the left if you ask them if a broad generalized question.

6. The Right has dragged the apparent center way over.
The real center is now where DU really is. The Reality is distorted. Look at where Europe and the Scandinavian countries are.

8. If DU was center, then it would be
boring as hell, and have no reason to exist.

9. We're more to the left because ...

In general, DUers are well read, or as Randi Rhodes says, "We take time to read the Newspaper." I make time to read the front section of the Washington Post each day. The WP has taken a sharp right turn but it's news stories (not editorials) are informative and usually not partisan.

Also, I believe most people who enjoy DU, also search out alternative news sources and don't learn "talking points" from the likes of Rush Limbaugh.

Unfortunately our curious nature and independence encourages us to squabble among ourselves. However, if we can maintain respect for each other, by Jove, we just may come up with some viable action plans for our smaller "local" Democratic groups. Hope! <g>

10. DU tends to be more left than most *Democrats*.
Our party is far more centrist than DU is, IMO.

11. Another stupid poll. Until the 11 million extra voters W got are found
I have no clue what "most americans" are. For all I know, we may be 99%.

12. Hell!!! Americans aren't in sync with their damn selves....
How can they expect anyone else to be in sync with them....

I have never seen such a large number of dumb ass people voting against their own damn interests.
