Reply #97: This is exactly why I'm having a hard time supporting the Dems

[WestMichRad]

They have a black-and-white right vs. wrong issue on the table, and many of them cringe about taking a stand because they're worried about it endangering their re-election chances. They're not willing to take a principled stand without first checking the damn polls. Churchill would roll over in his grave to think of spineless politicians like these.

If the Dems can't take a stand when something like this comes around, what good is it having them as our representatives? I may as well support someone from a minor party who will take a stand on something he/she believes in ! At least then I won't be "throwing away my vote" to a spineless wimp.

And in either case (Dem or a third party), we'll voting for a minority party candidate. (Oh, you don't really think the Dems will win either house of Congress this fall, do you? Oh yeah, there won't be any election fraud. Riiiiiiiiight.)

Flame away, if you must.

Peace.
