| 23. Please re-think that. A democratic sweep gives us the courts, too. |

I abhor the idea of another Clinton presidency. But I won't walk away from it all and help hand any sort of victory to the evil bastards who stole our country. This is about more than our personal egos or personal wishes, it is about our country. If we give the GOP even a toe-hold, they'll exploit it to the detriment of us all.
Why would you be willing to do that?
