DINOS: Do more harm then good.

[indianablue]

I know some say we need a wide tent and I agree to some extent but whenever a DINO crosses over and votes with the GOP on an unpopular bill it provides all the cover they need.

Some say that we need DINOS in order to get the majority in congress back. Yes, that may be true but what good does it do if they still vote with the GOP and override or vote down any positive legislation.

I am a blue-collar man, I work in a unionized shop and many people there vote GOP. They site the usual Guns, God and Gays but also they point out to legislation like NAFTA and other trade deals both parties seem to love.

The reason why ‘values’ comes up instead of economics is because both parties have essentially the same ideology on economics. The voters know both parties are wholly owned subsidiaries of their corporate financiers so only thing left is the social issues.

It is sad when the lesser of two evils is your only viable option.

1. You know...

Even the DLC was against the estate tax repeal. That is how onerous it is. These guys even voted to the right of the DLC.

2. Far from winning us support, the DINOs

prove the common belief that "there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the parties."

If both parties are going to screw over the common people, why should anyone bother to vote?

If you are adamant on choice and equal rights (which you should be) but think NAFTA and outsourcing are terrific and think that taxes should be low and military spending should be high and everyone should save money instead of relying on Social Security and we mustn't be "anti-business," guess what--you're a libertarian, not a Democrat.

3. Depends on who they are working for. If they are GOP plants, they are

doing a swell job. Traitors like Lieberman have probably crafted a pseudoDemocrat voting record for this moment alone. They are Republicans, and not only that but they he is a neocon.

4. We don't need DINO help...

...let the Quislings go down with their fascist neocon masters!
