I didn't know he was a democrat, just made an assumtion that he wasn't.

Is it really a bad thing to have people like him inside that party? I can remember a time when the word democrat didn't equate with pacifism, anti-war.

No, I don't think it's bad to have people like VDH in the Dem Party -- though I truly hope that party becomes extinct and has no one inside it within my lifetime.

I'm simply surprised. It's like finding a Rabbi inside the Nazi Party. Maybe he can do some good. Maybe he can persuade some Nazis not to be so anti-semitic. But the overall feeling is: "What's HE doing in THAT party?"
