The only other choice is a moonbat crazy GOP that has the resources to win.

Example:

In Florida, we had a 3 way race with kendrick meek, Charlie crist, and Marco Rubio. Now, Rubio is unacceptable, but I voted for the democrat. I was yelled at here, to the point where even the mods got on my case when I mentioned that they were letting people back a third party candidate, which, back in the days of Nader, used to be against the rules. True enough, the vote was split, Rubio got in, and I kept having Florida Democrats say, see, we told you so."

Now, this si the same Charlie that is now a Democrat...The idea of liking this bastard is making my skin crawl; he only embraced Obama because his own party had low taxed themselves to the point where the state could go bankrupt; much of the damage he was having Obama fix was damage HE did!

To paraphrase Chris Rock, Crist is like an uncle that molested you when you were a kid, but he then donated a kidney to save your life. You can appreciate the heroic act, but there is a part of you that feels, dirty....and while I feel dirty voting for him, I know that we cannot have Rick Scott in office anymore, as he is a hard Tea party type that won by being more right wing than Jeb Bush. And I also know that if a real democrat steps up, chance of this party of Florida Democrats standing up for them are nil, especially our beloved chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schulz, is taking all the credit for winning Florida, so she can go right back to slitting throats of any genuinely lefty candidates.

If it is ac hoice between eating garbage and broken glass, I have to eat the garbage. Though I would rather be sinking my fangs into the necks of the insiders that create this mess.

That an honest enough answer?
