Reply #90: Here are my reasons...

First of all, I believe that we all should be able to criticize anyone of any party in our government. I will continue to do that since they are supposed to represent us and we are supposed to let them know what we think and want. I am not trashing them, but feel it is my right, no, my DUTY, to criticize them all. And to tell them good job, which I also do.

Now, to the question of why vote for a non-dem candidate. If where I am is overwhelmingly voting democrat, and I don't like the democratic candidate, I may vote third party. I want more than anything to stop what has happened, stop the deterioration of our constitution and country, but, dependent upon the candidate and how voting has gone so far, I may not vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate. I reseve that right.

Why am I here, at DemocraticUnderground then? There is more to democracy, there is more to DU than blind support of Democratic party.

Finally, the bashing gets to me too. Sometimes insults and short quick answers are not the best way to discuss things, but they happen.

Peace and onward.
