[summer]

I have read DU at times, wondering if there is ever a reason for me to return to being a Dem, as I am now an independent.

I have to say I think it is the worst advertisement the Dem Party could possibly have for itself. Rarely do I see any logic or reasoned thoughtful posts in any discussion; most of the threads are vanities about something unrelated to issues or just a knee-jerk reaction to a news item.

BTW, I do not think every person on FR is a genius, but if you read both forums, it is clear that FR has a lot more people who are able to actually maintain a conversation on the issues than DU.

It saddens me in a way, because I believe our nation is much stronger when we have a real dialogue on both sides of the aisle.

I couldn't agree more. The idea that this is the only thing the liberal side can offer is saddening when you get right down to it.
