234. Who are your heroes, politically speaking? Would you abandon them,
simply because others who CLAIM to be of the same party aren't on the right track?

I will stand on the side of John Conyers and Barbara Boxer, and won't abandon them just because of the (fill-in-the-blank) DINO's who might happen to ruin it for all of us.

Because such heroes are always something bigger and more deserving of my loyalty than anything as ephemeral as the overall sum of a party's parts.

If your best friend were running as a Democrat, would you not vote for them just because of the (fill-in-the-blank) DINO's who didn't stand up for what the party as a whole stands for? It's hard to understand that.

I don't disagree with your anger. But place it precisely where it belongs -- with the Republicans AND with the specific DINO's who have betrayed us.
