Proud Democrat [View All]

[WilliamPitt]

* The passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, which LBJ shepherded through despite knowing it would lose the South. We're living now in the aftermath of that decision, but it was still the absolute, undeniable right thing to do;

* Social Security

* Medicare

* The Family Leave Act

* The Earned Income Tax Credit

* The economic boom of the 1990s

* Weekends (a.k.a. Unions)

* Winning WWII

* Sending Newt to early retirement

* JFK

* FDR

* RFK

* Truman

* Jimmy Carter

* William Jefferson Clinton

* Al Gore

* Howard Dean

* Dennis Kucinich

* Carol Moseley Braun

* Bob Graham

* Wesley Clark

* John Edwards

* Al Sharpton

* Dick Gephardt

* John Kerry

* Joseph Wilson

* The defense of Roe v. Wade

* The defense of ANWR and the environment

I suppose I could go on.

Failures? Sure. Scads of them. Anyone who has never failed at anything, ever, step forward...but be sure to tell us how your failures translated into national policy because you had dedicated your life to service, and were the Johnny-on-the-spot when the deal went down.

Anyone who is a proud Democrat can help me elaborate on this list.
