definition of the "left". Do you only mean Nader? I don't think so, I think there are many here that think Kucinich and Howard Dean qualify in your minds as being the "lefties", you just won't come out and say it, but anybody reading between the lines knows exactly who you are referring to. Therein lies the problem. I also think alot of you think that those of us that opposed the Iraqi war or protested the WTO and NAFTA are perceived as those "lefties" that are trying to take the party away from you moderates. I opposed the Iraqi war, but I felt it was necessary to go into Afghanistan, so that blows that theory all to hell.

The true feeling of many on this board seethes just beneath the surface. Speak up, you're certainly not a bashful group of people.

Here lately when posters throw out the word "leftie" it's more than apparent it is done with the same kind of vitriol that the repubs use when they snarl up their face and call us "liberals". I remember when being called a "leftist" was a good thing, silly me, I just thought it was the opposite of "right wing". Personally, I'm more worried about the Lieberman and Zell Miller wing of our party at present.

Nice post genius. Thanks.
