Reply #9: I do not consider myself far left. [View All]

I supported the war in Afghanistan even though Bush provoked the 9-11 attacks over oil.

I did not support the Iraq invasion because Bush wanted to use it to get oil and also political capital to destroy the social safety net, which most of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates want to do through privatization.

There appears no place in my Democratic party for moderate Republicans.

If I want a pizza, or a car, or a swimming pool, or a home then I will rely on the private sector and govenment will make sure products appear safe.

If I want health care insurance, retirement income, disability income, unemployment insurance, etc the social safety net then I want the government to do it without the private sector attached to it like a parasite like in Medicare Part D. If you like Medicare Part D, you have no place in my Democratic Party.
