Yea, I’m always mystified by this. Certain things about the rights of Corporations bother me, too. But I don’t confuse how I want things to be with how they actually are. Even when I’m trying to convince someone to change.
But I would only point out this kind of behavior as an example of the stereotype liberals are referring to when we say “Republicans want to roll back the 20th century”. It’s not a dominate position numerically in the party, but the population is vocal and because it is energized, the position is critical to the party base.
They certainly aren’t democrats. You guys own these… uh… interesting people.

Don’t worry, John, the Dems have their own interesting people. Take Dennis Kucinich for example

Yea, I know. Strange, though. I took the “What candidate fits your views” quiz on the net and came very close to Kucinich. Dean was my second best fit. This surprised me a bit, because I actually thought I agreed more with Dean’s fiscal positions. The quiz doesn’t weight the positions, which is why I think they pegged me wrong.

Those quizzes tend to be a little off. And Kucinich really does have some “out there” positions in terms of some his new age-ish solutions to global conflict and such.
