59. I Didn't Vote In This Poll, Because My Option Isn't There
The option I select is

"I will hold my nose and vote Kerry"

Not because I'm for Kerry. But because I am ABB.

Kerry has taken a position on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that has seriously angered me, as a transgender person, and, as a result, until he changes that position, he will NEVER get active support from me...EVER!!

When he is for a transgender-inclusive ENDA, he gets my active support. Till then, passive only.

since WHEN has ANY civil rights fight been free of controversy? Since WHEN did we, as Democrats, support a man who would send some to the back of the bus to avoid controversy? where did we, as a party, lose our principles to fight for the oppressed?

IMHO, Kerry is a linguine-spined sellout, who has sold me and my transgender sisters and brothers down the river, and banished us to the back of the bus! I VEHEMENTLY REFUSE to actively support such a man.

I hope someone send this to Kerry, so he will know how much he has angered people like me!
