responsibility and personal freedom made me a democrat.

Remind me never to blow steam here again.

I am a PCO and canvassed quite a bit for Kerry Edwards and never once, in talking to a couple of hundred people did I meet a Libertarian who would even consider voting for a democrat for any reason. Most of them were so over propagandized, they couldn't even say the word Democrat. I heard a lot of screaming about taxes for social services. (see selfish reference) So I have some measure of my community, as you say it. Granted things may be different where you live, I live in a rural red area.

And I wonder if I am not allowed to steam off here, at Democratic Underground, then what gives? Libertarians are for politically correct speech? This is a forum for democrats or so I thought.
