Democrats Who Move Right Lose Elections – There Is No “Center”

[sabrina 1]

13. Funny how it's okay to vote for or at least tacitly support certain Republicans, see Christie

eg, if they simply put a D after their names, or are required to stfu about all the Republicans who got back into power after we threw them out, when this President either appointed them to powerful positions or left them there to continue Bush's policies.

But if someone mentions that someone with no D after their name is actually right about something, the outrage is hilarious. They hypocrisy of it is stunning. It's okay if the Party actually votes for Republicans, but outrage for those who would never do so but dare to mention that one of them actually got something right.

I am so disgusted by the whole thing, the hypocrisy, the shift to the right, the pretense that we only support Dems when in fact that is an outright lie when all you have to do is look at who is in this President's cabinet, Monsanto CEOs eg, Bush Loyalists etc.

The OP is correct, the base has come out, holding their noses many times over the past few elections and got blamed for the policies of the Leadership anyhow, which drove away the Independents and the young in 2010.

But no one is going to continue to vote against their own interests over and over again. Especially when they are told, as we see here at times, that they are not needed, or to just 'stfu' and voted.
