Oh, c’mon.
Some of ‘em are decent human beings. “Zig-Zag” Zell Miller, 2-term Governor of Georgia, was a Democrat and is probably well to the right of our current likely presidential candidate, Romney. Hell, if the Democrats ran Miller against Romney, I’d vote Miller.
(Not going to happen. Miller doesn’t want run and doesn’t like the current Democrat leadership, anyway.)
A lot of Democrat politicians are reds; most of ‘em are pink. But there are still a few of them who are just decent folks who think they’re helping their neighbors. Or who are Democrats because that is how their county or district works.
The exceptions prove the rule.
