The democrats -- including my favorite, Howard Dean -- are looking to "neutralize and compromise" on Gay Marriage and Abortion.

They think, because they're truly fucking stupid, that they lost because they were painted as extreme on these issues.

I think they lost because they don't nominate dynamic progressives. They nominate faux-Republicans who don't inspire anyone in any way.

John Kerry lost them that election, because he was painted as a Liberal by the enemy even though he was a pro-business moderate. Anyone we field will be painted that way. If we had an actual honest to Christ charismatic Progressive at the front of the ticket....

But no. Now they want to compromise their stance on Women's rights, on Gay rights, on Civil rights.

Why the fuck should I vote for them? If they're just going to do Republican things in office, they aren't an alternative to the Republicans. If they're not going to fight because they're afraid they'll lose, then they've already fucking lost.

And once again, I'm reminded that somehow, I've turned into someone whose opinions and beliefs are simply not relevant to the United States of America. I have no home. I have no party. There is no room for Liberals in American government any more.

Merry Christmas.
