I really appreciate this one.
I left the Democratic Party in the mid-1990s. The straw that broke the camel's back was welfare "reform," but a lot of other things led up to it. (FWIW, I consider myself a Green, but since I can't register Green in my state, I'm formally an Independent.)
But the behavior of the party when considering the Military Commissions Act last year made me particularly proud not to be a Democrat. The party's behavior was reprehensible, but all too predictable.
One of the faults of the so-called left of the blogosphere is that it too often puts partisanship before principle. So I'm always very heartened when bloggers are willing to put principle first.
Keep up the good work, Glenn. You're one of the best!
