Frankly I find it funny that the rabid cons will yell "states rights!" but then consistently attack California for leftist politics. So California is leftist? Don't live there if you don't like it. And leftists shouldn't live in Utah if they're that worried about it.

Still, the thing I find most humorous about a lot of the posts here is that:
one Democrat says or does something.
Suddenly it's ALL Democrats who have that opinion.

Dean's been known to go off on psycho emotional ramblings. That's his appeal. He's the left-wing equivalent of the right-wing pundits. I think it's dumb, but it looks good to young liberals. Kind of like how inflammatory right-wing rhetoric appeals to little baby cons.

A majority of the Crat Party leaders pays little but lip service to the farleftists, focusing more on moderates, civil libertarians, and the working class. Thus they seem to stand for nothing- since these groups have little in common.
For some reason the Pubs have been better at bringing together the holyfolk and the business people as a solid group... usually using the Crats as a common enemy. But that will eventually be reversed, most likely the Crats will move a bit right on a couple issues and snag away part of the Pub base.
Unless they're incompetent... which might be true.

In the meantime, these wierd little tidbits do not describe a majority of Crats nor is there actually a 21-oath requirement for Crat candidacy.

And to get back to that thing about the ACLU...
Say I start an organization dedicated to the advocacy of fisherman's rights... Does it automatically become also dedicated to civil liberties, campaign finance laws, and election reform simply because I am for those things? No. That would be dumb business and I'd alienate some who would help my cause. I'd use other organizations for those things.
Is there synergy for the ACLU founder? Yes. By protecting free speech, he protects his rights to speak out as a communist... As a side effect he protects your rights to speak out against communism. But the ACLU isn't designed as a communist organization.
