I never really felt like I was a troll or unwelcome on this site but lately according to some of the responses I have seen to my comments, I just don't know anymore. I have been visiting this site for years before I joined and it seemed that it has always been a good place to come to guage the pulse of the democratic party. So I will let everyone know what I believe and let you all decide. This is not a ego excercise, I have a feeling there are a lot of people like me who are a little intimidated by the troll moniters to speak out. I think this diary may help them. So with further ado........
I believe that a protracted Democratic nomination race is not necessarily a bad thing if you stick to the issues.
I believe this Democratic race in not a good thing.
I believe that the Clintons actually really don't know what shame is.
I believe that Obama should be our next President, Mccain has the upper hand right now, and Hillary Clinton has a better chance against Mccain.
I believe Kos is my favorite writer (not just fav Blogger) and look forward to his posts.
I believe the smartest people in the country are here in this community, but unfortunately it's a small percentage of the voting public.
I believe that the majority of voters in the country are grossly misinformed, and that hurts the democratic party
I believe that Bush is a terrible President.
I believe that nationalized health care system would bankrupt this country.
I believe most people could afford some type of HSA or Catastrophic health care program.
I believe you can be a Democrat and be fiscally conservative.
I believe if you make 90K a year you are not rich, and you pay enough taxes.
I believe there will be two retirements on the Supreme court in the next 8 years and if there isn't a Democratic President in the office, the court will veer extremely to the right (even more so) for a long long time.
I believe if Obama wins the nomination and he picks Colin Powell as his running mate, that it would seal the deal.
I love when the Bloggers show pictures on their post of their family. Keeps everything real.
I believe that the new polls showing Obama gaining gorund on Clinton in Penn, have faulty model numbers, and the Clintons will win by 10 points.
I believe that Penn and Michigan will be the most important states in the coming general election.
I believe Ohio will be solidly Democratic in the 2008 General election.
I love Camille Paglia.
I believe sometimes when I have had too many beers at home by myself, I post some stupid comments.
I believe that just because the Repubs slimed Kerry's patriotism and service, we shouldn't trash Mccain's, I can barely read those posts without gagging.
I believe I like Mccain's immigration policy.
I believe that just because Mccain doesn't repulse me, like Bush, doesn't mean I want Obama to lose to him in the general.
I believe the Reds stink!
I believe that not all of us Christians are nuts.
I believe the media, purposely lies to gain viewers.
I believe that nuance is dead in American politics, and the MSM loves it.
And finally I believe just because you like to voice your real concerns on this site about a certain shortcoming of a democratic candidate, or in my case, percieved shortcoming that doesn't make you a troll!
