His rhetoric is really great, but if you look at his voting record, he's pretty dam centrist -- read: corporate.

I was disappointed when I started looking at his actual actions.

Somehow I had you pegged as more of a Kucinich, Gravel or Cynthia McKinney kind of guy. You know, pounding away at drum in a circle of slightly botched, somewhat disgruntled vegans with way too much time on their hands. What happened to you, Matt? Has Scott Moore's departure influenced this small step away from the bat shit crazy left-wing fringe?

Left and right doesn't mean much to me, frankly. I'm more about what's right, which tends to be left. Although not always. Usually it's about the person behind the slogans, I'm finding.

I'm still voting for Kucinich come primary
