| 59. Thanks for the info. Personally, I want a Democrat elected - I want it very badly... |
|
at this point, I'm not real particular about their outfit. I look back on the last two elections and work hard at containing my anger at the Democratic party leaders. There is no excuse whatsoever, after the Clinton years, that any Republican should have gotten back into that office for decades! And the only reason I continue to vote Democratic is because the alternatives seem so much worse. How pathetic...to always be choosing the lesser of the evils.
