A nice little piece from Michael Moore:
For years now, nearly every poll has shown that the American people are right in sync with the platform of the Democratic Party. They are pro-environment, pro-women's rights and pro-choice. They don't like war. They want the minimum wage raised, and they want a single-payer universal health-care system. The American public agrees with the Republican Party on only one major issue: They support the death penalty.

Hm, kind of interesting. I'd be interested in seeing some statistics about Americans' views on universal health care. I think many of the distinctions he draws aren't fair, though. For instance, Republicans would call themselves pro-women's rights, too...and pro-environment for that matter. Americans were pro-war before things got bad in Iraq. At any rate, let's hope the tide of public opinion hurries up and changes on the death penalty... I don't want the Dems giving up that position.
