You sound reasonable. How can you be a DemocRAT?
Ach, the mysteries of life. :)
I just take a call 'em as I see 'em approach. I don't believe in slavish adherence to whatever any politician tells me, and when I disagree, well, that's fine, I disagree. It's just that I feel I agree with the Democratic perspective a lot more, and so I consider myself a Democrat.
