What is the worse of two evils?
A Republican with an (R) after their name, or a Republican with a (D) after their name?

1. A DINO
I hate it when Democrats elect an official who is supposed to vote progressively-I feel betrayed if they simply vote the GOP line.

2. Before 2004, I thought there was a difference
because a majority of the "D" Repugs would still allow powerful committee chairs to be real "D's." The behavior of the present Congress has finally burst that bubble forever. It doesn't matter if the committee chairs are given to real Repugs or Repugs in Demo drag. At a time when unity against the appallingly wrongheaded administration has been essential, too many of them have simply rolled over, gone along to get along, stabbed us in the back.

Sorry, folks, but pleas for unity under bad policies won't get very far with me. I will no longer waste my vote on any conservative from either party, no matter how he cloaks his antilabor and/or antiwoman policies in "pragmatism."

That's just the way it is.

3. That is how I am beginning to feel
We need a change in administration.
Simply nailing up a "D" on the door isn't enough--the candidate has to be a change from the current policies.

5. Trust me when I say
I have an extremely firm grip, and no, not ANYTHING would be better.
I won't settle for the status quo.
