If I am going to trust someone it will be the DLC over Tauscher.
And to say that the Republican party is caught up in a knee jerk tautology may have some validity but in my opinion the Dems are worse. The DLCs comments on CAFTA are proof. The fact that they have to tell their own people to get over their emotions and do what is right shows that. The Republicans may have hated Clinton but they gave him fast track authority and supported his free trade deals.

I no longer miss Bilmore.
Back in the day, when we had debating club, Ibraham could never figure out why he couldn't win a single debate. Each debate, when the question was put to him, he gave his answer and said, "this is so because Allah wills it", and went on to note places in the Koran where Allah spoke to the matter. However, he never gave a reason beyond his quote to authority. Of course, he also had a personal relationship with Allah, which helped, too.
Replace "Allah" with "DLC" and "Koran" with "press releases" and we see the Spanky style. "Allah's statements on CAFTA are proof."
