Why you should support the dem nominee....
no matter if it is HRC, BA or JE.


All three support a woman's right to choose.

All three will select justices to the supreme court to protect a woman's right to choose.



If you sit out this november because you do not like the democratic party nominee for one issue or another, remember this all of the repuke candidates will choose justices that will overturn Roe v Wade.

So if you don't mind seeing Roe v wade overturned, go ahead sit out this november or vote for a third party candidate.

But remember a third party candidate has never won a presidential election in the history of our country. The closest any came was TR.

Even Ross Perot who was much vaunted in the 1992 election only got 19% of the vote and 0 electors.

But in 1968 George wallace won enough electors to throw the election to Nixon.

Thankfully in 1948 Strom Thurmmond's third party candidacy did not prevent Harry S Truman from winning election.


Do you want another 4 years of a repuke in teh white house?

I think not.


Vote for the Democratic Party candidate in November!

1. I agree, but the antics of the Clintons are making it very hard for me
to do much more than vote for them if they are the nominee.

2. Thanks. We all need to be reminded often
of what our first priority should be. Unlike a presidential term which can be over in 4 years, a Supreme court appt. can last for DECADES. I was 17 when John Paul Stevens became a justice. I am turning 50 this year! Think about it!

3. I think the opposing view is that voting for any of the current candidates is
a death of a thousand cuts.

We're headed the same place...it's just a matter of whether you want to start voting your conscience now or prolong the agony.

8. If you love Bush and want more of the same don't vote for the dem nominee
Vote for the dem nominee unless you really really enjoyed the last 8 years with Bush and want more of the same.
