Well, that's the self-righteous flag you're wrapping yourself in...and it's a standard collectivist pitch.
My concerns over issues are driven by my own assessment of which are important, and how to interpret the platforms of various competeing candidates and parties relative to those issues..
Your fundamental thesis seems to be that the Democrats have more respect for "rights and freedoms" than their opposition, and I just don't buy the assertion. I've seen them in action, and my opinion is the performance doesn't live up to the advertising.
