if he didnt support same sex marriage as a Republican now he wont support it as a DEmocrat. I dont want Republicans in our Party calling themselves Democrats but voting like a Republican. If he wanted to cut SS and Medicare before, he still wants to cut them only now as a Democrat. We already have tooo many DINO's in our party pulling the Party farther to the right.

Plez people, it isnt the letter behind his name that's important, but his principles.
