Once again, Howard Dean, Harry Reid and other Democrats are putting partisan politics first and the facts second.

drifted so far away form any of the core principles that Democrats consider important.

Democrats need to be careful about how they proceed. If they come across as weak on national defense, an issue where the president is strong ... they will pay a price.

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.

Once again Democrats have put politics in front of education and needy Georgians. We find that unfortunate for the citizens of Georgia.
