About Mad Wombat

Welcome to the Mad Wombat blog (incarnation #3). I’m once again trying to get this blogging thing going but…no promises.  Hopefully it will last this time.

This blog will pretty much have two purposes – the first is to highlight, like many other democratic blogs do, the stupidity and incompetence (or worse) of the GOP. However, something else I will attempt to do is to try to keep my liberal democratic brethren in check.

I think I typify the standard Democratic Moderate (I’m sure I’ll expand on all these at one point or another):

• I believe in the democratic brand of helping the less fortunate and prioritizing the middle class over the wealthy.
• I believe in balance between business and other moderate/liberal priorities.
• I support compromise, but not compromise for compromise’s sake.
• I believe that, unless urgent and radical change is shown to be necessary, changes in policies and programs should be taken at a measured, yet steady pace rather than all at once.
• I want to work with liberals to help improve the party, but only if they’re actually willing to respect my moderate views.
• I’m both socially and economically moderate.

I hope that you will find this blog insightful and I hope that I can do my small part in making the democratic party – and the nation – a better place.
