The lesser of two evils.

50. He's not worth it.

Ignore him.
Don't waste your time and let the thread get hijacked.
"Evil" is subjective, and not a term I would use to describe the Democratic Party,
but I do strongly agree with your observation that today's New Democrat Centrist Party is well to the Conservative Right of even Eisenhower.

It is essential the the Democratic Party maintain the White House,
and it would be nice to gain seats in Congress,
but I can NOT overlook the fact that the Party leadership is "winning" by passing legislation based on
Traditional Conservative values,
and has completely ignored the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party.

I find it very difficult to help elect people who would only move the Party & The Country even further to the Conservative Right.

I used to mercilessly ridicule Working Class republicans for voting against their own economic interests,
and now find myself in the same position, especially with the new "Free Trade" treaties already passed,
and the new ones (Pacific Rim) being negotiated in secret while the country is distracted with the election and laughing at Romney.

My WORST fear is the Romney gets elected by hook or crook.

My NEXT Worse fear is that Obama & The "Centrist" Democrats win by a landslide,
and use that as a Mandate of Approval for MORE Conservative Economic Policy.

How do I "support the Democrats" and at the same time let them know how unhappy I am with the direction they are taking the Party?




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
