200. Hmmm, my thought on democratic principles...

is that there is nothing wrong with disagreeing on issues espoused by a democrat. Just because someone calls themselves a democrat, or a liberal, or a blue dog doesn't mean they are immediately right or wrong on a given issue. Christ if we are that mindless we're no better than the Limbaughs and Becks of the world. I believe our number one principle is, or should be, open discourse, and an ability to respectfully disagree in our discussions. Hopefully, that is also the belief here at DU.
