I read Armando's entry entitled "Fighting Dems" located here:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/8/5/15134/56717
and one thing got to me. The author kept describing the net/grassroots as liberals saying how we will pull our party to the left, etc.
Now, on some issues I am unabashedly liberal. I think we need a liberal foreign policy in the middle east (for a variety of reasons that I wont mention in this diary).
I think Dems should quit the equivocating with the Civil Unions nonsense and endorse gay marriage IF they truly believe gays should be allowed to marry. I'm gay so it should be a no-brainer as to why I think that. I also am sick of hearing rumors about people like Hillary who "really dont have a problem with it personally, but think it's not politically viable." If you are for it, F-ing say it! You dont have to make that the cornerstone of your campaign!
Basically, I think Dems should stand for what they reallly believe in.
But I want to know what I would be considered. A moderate? A liberal? What exactly?
