In reply to the discussion: This Democrat thinks he can win in 2016 as the anti-Obama [View all]raven mad
(4,940 posts)I've been a registered Dem since 1972, and have never voted otherwise. I have, however, written in candidates when given no other option. I am not a single-issue voter. That's for the right-wing, who revolve around several: race, religion, abortion, taxes, etc. I'd vote depending on whether or not the "F" rating meant those of us who use guns in legitimate ways, are licensed, are not mentally ill, and have had background checks, can keep them.
But there are a LOT of "rural" Dems that "went to the dark side" on one issue - guns. That's sad; they didn't see the big picture, and are suffering for it. I look at the candidate, look at the issues we're facing, and decide. One "F" does not an entire report card make! (I know, I got one in AP biology........... and still made the dean's list!)
