119. Alright, you've got my attention
But what about accountability? Say a Zell Miller or a Lieberpuke goes and does something really unspeakably awful, like appear at the Repuke National Convention to praise the shrub or rebuke fellow Dems for not supporting the shrub's imperialist agenda, what way do I have to express my extreme displeasure with their choices? If such so-called Dems can continue to rely upon my unswerving fealty, devotion, and support no matter how egregious their choices are, what mechanism exists for providing accountability in ones public officials? And what's to stop a Lieberpuke wannabe like Hillary concluding that there's nothing to prevent her from taking campaign funds from DLC board member DOW Chemical in exchange for a little environmentally unfriendly consideration once she's in office - after all, Dems are going to support her no matter what, what alternative do they have? Vote Repuke? Is that really the best we can hope for from our "representatives"?
