Reply #21: I agree. [View All]

I have no problem with pointing out legitimate concerns (and there are many) with our candidates and with Democrats, in general. What I rail against is the insincere garbage that passes for "criticism" about them and the blanket statements that are all too frequently made about them.

We need to push for a more progressive agenda. On that, I think nearly everyone here would agree. As you noted, it's difficult to do so with Bush in office and with the thin majorities we currently have. In my opinion, the only way that we can hope to push a more progressive agenda is if we win the presidency and shore up our majorities in the House and Senate.

I also agree that the "there's no difference" crowd is misguided, at best. One look at the records of our nominees in comparison to their Republican opponents bears that out.
