7. No.
Cause you are anything but "solid".

The implication of "party loyalty" first is that your positions shift whichever way the wind blows. If the Dems say it is correct, you will go that way.

I first realized this when Clinton got into power and suddenly certain wars were okay with previously staunchly anti-war politicians.

It rocked my world and opened my eyes.

Keep true to your own beliefs. Use your heart as a landmark by which to navigate, not political expediency.

13. Damn. I love that song. If I knew that's what that was, I would have opened it sooner.
Sorry LoZo, but I don't anonymously YouTube.

16. You can always be responsible and post what it is. Unless, of course, that's not "solid."

10. Hey, I'm deep into Dem politics, and I refuse to be labeled with that stench.
Sorry. Still have a mind of my own.

25. Pass...
Seems more like junior-high-grade idiotic pat-yourself-on-the-back clique-making.

Nothing particularly "solid" about that.
