Note that almost all of the 138 congressfolk and 10 senators who voted against the final version of Patriot II were democrats...their names are all displayed on the linked page.....

191 house democrats voted to take the most punitive stance to deal with illegal immigrants, last December. even after "Sensenbrenner (R) himself tried to remove the felony provisions from his bill". The recently rejected senate version was a compromise of bills by McCain and Kennedy.

Anyway...please read it....there is a party position on Iraq, and on Energy, and former Sec'ty of State Albrights advice to Bush on the next steps to take with regard to Iran.

Please answer one question.....where are the democrats "to the left"...or not more "in the middle".....compared to what?? On what issues?? It can't be on overall spending...or on growth of government.....or on backing the CIA or the military.....can it??? Please explain why you are so reluctant to vote for the candidates of a party with a proven record...going back 20 to 40 years...that is fairer and better than the republican record. Is your reluctance all about the BJ and the stained dress....is that it???
