I'M A DYED-IN-THE-WOOL DEMOCRAT and if anyone has a problem with that

[ourbluenation]

kiss my big ol irish-american butt

have a nice day.

[bigtree]

1. dead dog Democrat here

carry on

[YOY]

2. Rather like preaching to the converted, isn't it?

n/t

[xultar]

4. On DU? You must be joking.

[YOY]

8. Yeah with the exception of the Irish American Butt it's pretty much that

Which would be Italian American Butt in my case and African American Butt in yours

or am I missing the obvious or a sarcasm sticker? Have we been invaded by Greens or more trolls than usual? Other than "Green Party Voter" I can't think of too many...and she's rather a nice person.

[xultar]

10. It has been crazy around here. More Dem bashing than rethug.

[YOY]

13. Oh that...

Yeah, I've seen that.

I want to see some action too, but won't go about with the bashing.

[BlooInBloo]

15. I still don't understand the need for places like free republic....

... nobody hates Democrats more than DUers.

[Phredicles]

16. That's because everyone here KNOWS the Rethugs are evil, but we expect BETTER

of the Democrats we've helped elect.

[blondeatlast]

6. On DU, proclaiming you are a Democrat is fightin' words! nt

[mac56]

3. Word that.

Me too, including the big ol' Irish-American butt.

[blondeatlast]

5. It's a good day to work on my "ignore" list--which never before existed. Hell, YEAH!

I'm damn proud to be a lifelong Democrat!

My first vote was for Jimmy Carter's re-election :cry:

[brentspeak]

7. k and r

:kick:

[Bonobo]

9. That gets 4 recs!? Jeebus!

[me b zola]

11. Nothing wrong with commitment

But sometimes when a husband isn't living up to his commitment to his wife she needs to stop washing his dirty drawers.

[MODemocrat]

12. That makes two of us ourbluenation

Dyed-in-the-wool is putting it mildly. I would not vote for my own son or daughter if they ran under the republican ticket; but I know that's not going to happen. They're way too honest and intelligent to do that. They've seen enough of George W. Bush's actions to ever entertain the thought of becoming a
republican.

:hi: :dem:

[OzarkDem]

14. Me, too

I'm so loyal I've been accused of supporting Dem leaders when they don't deserve it, just to protect the image of a unified party. However, during the last several years some of our current leaders have given me reason to question their judgement publicly. It takes a really loyal Democrat to go that far and still have faith in the future of Party.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. me too. they may falter and do things i dont approve of a 100% but they are a million times better

than the other viable option

[Wiley50]

18. I'm a Democrat, but I'm Not a Sheep

But I have no problem with you dying your wool

Any color you like

[ChairmanAgnostic]

19. so, what color did you dye your wool, anyways? nt

[ourbluenation]

28. what else...BLUE STATE BLUE!

hello???

[Marrah_G]

34. Woad !

[Lance_Boyle]

20. Go Team Go!

:eyes:

The (D) is only as good as the person who's name it follows. For a lot of them, that's not very good at all.

[applegrove]

21. Big Tent Democrat here...ditto

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. bluster bluster bluster

rah rah rah.

[11 Bravo]

23. Anyone with a problem probably should seek another web site upon which to frolic.

[Jed Dilligan]

24. I'm not. I think blind loyalty is for suckers.

Do you have a problem with that?

If so, you can kiss my small, shapely, multiracial butt.

[ourbluenation]

26. so you saying I''m a blind follower? Is that really what you wanna say to me? n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

29. No. But if you give no consideration to anything

other than party when you vote, I don't think you're a fully participatory citizen either.

[ourbluenation]

30. who the fuck said I do that? you're making a lot of assumptions.

[Jed Dilligan]

36. And you're taking things awfully personally. nt

[ourbluenation]

41. well...you were responding to moi. n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

43. We disagree on the issue of party loyalty

I think your position is foolish. I don't know anything else about you. So why take it personally? Everyone is foolish on some issues. You probably think I'm foolish for not pledging my vote to the Democratic party. But I don't take that personally.

I just don't want to be part of a "base" that gets treated like a welcome mat by rich politicians.

[ourbluenation]

44. there you go again making assumptions about what I think...

in this case what I think about you (foolish I think was the word you used).

[Jed Dilligan]

45. "Dyed in the wool" implies to me that one is

incapable of change. But maybe that's where our disagreement started?

[Lerkfish]

25. I'll see that and raise you: I'M A TREE-HUGGING ANTIWAR LIBERAL DEMOCRAT

an everyone can kiss my pasty white butt who doesn't like it.

[ourbluenation]

27. ME TOO! Glad to know ya!

:hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

40. I see that and rais you I'M A YELLOWDOGTREEHUGGING ANTIWAR LIBERAL DEMOCRAT

who never gives up

[LittleClarkie]

31. Amen. Sing it Mahalia!

Me too.

[hfojvt]

32. What does that mean?

You never even think about issues or look at candidates, just vote for the D? You would stand by a Democratic President who did the things Bush has done (and Johnson kinda did with Vietnam)?

and the KMA part. You cannot discuss with people who disagree with you?

'I believe X, and if you don't like it you can KMA' is not very persuasive.

Notice that I quietly changed my icon to Nancy Pelosi when she came under attack here. I still think she's on my side, and so I am on hers.

[Kingofalldems]

33. Agree totally--the party is made up of human beings

They can't be right all the time--and no one will ever agree with everything they say or do. It's not a religion but it is 1000 times better than the GOP. The exception being Joe Lieberman.

[cassiepriam]

35. Time to start kicking butt, not kiss it.

Not yours of course dear.

The elected dems are pissing me off big time.

PS JFK Dem here too. As was my Irish American Daddy before me.
Never voted Repug in my life and never will. Amen.

[LWolf]

37. Eewwwww. No, thanks.

I'm glad you're happy with your political identity.

I'm an independent-minded Democrat who holds the party accountable for earning my support.

ANYONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT CAN...ER...er....

Come to think of it, I don't really want anyone's face near my ass anyway. Anyone who has a problem with my kind of Democrat can stay home and raise their own blood pressure all they want.

[HughMoran]

38. This is a childish reponse to a post designed to provoke you

Are we like the flag-waving dickheads we laugh at?

I hope not...

[DancingBear]

39. I'M A DYED IN THE WOOL PROGRESSIVE

and if anyone thinks I'm going to vote for a spineless coward or a corporate whore just because they have a (D) next to their name then they are not worth my time.

I don't give votes (or trust) away based on a name tag, and those who do are to be pitied, not praised.

[ourbluenation]

42. who thinks that?
