Just take an objective run through the party platform, or more appropriately, through the vote tallies of Congress. I don't think you'll find even a hint of Leftist, let alone Liberal policy promulgation anywhere. It's fine to get all huffed up on partisan rhetoric during the election if you must, but I'm trying to maintain a discussion about the nuts n' bolts intersection between principles and policies. The Dems used to stand for some long-held principles that have all been put out to pasture by the goons at the DLC and a calcified party hierarchy.

I'm not a Dem, but I do see the need for citizens who count on that particular party to "represent" their interests and values to take a good hard clear-eyed look at your "emperor"--do you honestly like his attire?
