From The Comments Section

...on a Daniel Larison post at The American Conservative:
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to be OK with pre-Bush 2 tax rates.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to resist wasteful Defense spending levels and to see the wisdom of staying out of wars.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to live with a health care system many Republicans endorsed two decades ago.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to practice a productive legislative relationship with the other party.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to allow that at least some regulation is essential for a trustworthy business environment.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to quit gratuitously insulting minorities and women.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to quit using sneaky ways to circumvent democratically representative voting results.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to use your small-state Senate seat responsibly.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to have a gun policy that respects Second Amendment rights, but isn’t written by the firearms industry.
  • You don’t have to be a liberal to conserve our natural resources.

Where To Fight

It's good to show up at marches and rallies and protests and such - the meatspace is a very important thing.  But cyberspace is where more and more of the good stuff is happening.

So get yourself up on facebook and whatever other interwebs thingies you can think of and make your presence known.

And remember that you can set up a facebook account under any alias or pseudonym you want - all you need is an email account, which can also be anonymous.*

Participate - democracy is not a spectator sport.

Bob McDonnell (aka Gov McVaginalProbe)

Robert Hurt (US House of Representatives - VA5)

Rob Bell (VA House of Delegates - District 58)

*facebook tries to prevent this, but it can be done if you're sensible about it.
