Progressive Democrats > DINOS > right wing Republicans
Edited on Sun Aug-05-07 09:33 PM by Pushed To The Left
In other words, I strongly prefer progressive Democrats over DINOs, but I strongly prefer just about ANY Democrat to a right wing Republican. I am very disappointed in a lot of Democrats, and a lot of them may have to face a tough primary as a result of their votes. However, just because I support the idea of primary challenges doesn't mean I won't always support a Democrat over a right wing Republican, because I will.

3. I support ridiculing the betrayers of the Constitution.
Edited on Sun Aug-05-07 09:45 PM by autorank
Bush is at 25% approval and dropping in every poll.

What are they waiting for? A negative number.

The so called conservative Democrats are not conservative at all. They're enablers of tyranny.

Their constituents are more than capable and probably very inclined to support individual liberties

and privacy rights. The venal Democrats who fail to make this case are useful for only one thing -

forming a majority to elect leadership which does NOT reflect their atavistic views.


Shame on them. They diminish the Constitution and act as though the good people of their districts

and states actually demand this. Rubbish!

4. Would you support a indy over a dem voting republican
And yes it might cause a republican to win a seat, but when both choices keep supporting the killing and the indy is against it would you vote your conscience. I'm not trying to be snarky in any way but find myself in this position and must advocate my conscience. Peace

6. I would encourage the independent to mount a primary challenge against the incumbent Democrat
I want to avoid a Republican victory at all costs, so I don't think I would vote 3rd party. But I would love to have more progressive Democratic candidates.

7. It's not about politics
And its not about life and death, that is the process we are all a part of and should not fear and I don't.

But there is something I am aware of from time to time and its more final than death itself, the cessation of existence itself, you don't want to go there, its the rawest form of fear found only in my dreams void of rational thinking and the exact opposite of my waking reality though never directed at myself, I find myself advocating for life above everything else, it is after all what we are.

5. Blue Dog Dems are GOPers who don't have the stones to stand up and admit it
Blue Dogs are GOpers who know no one will vote for them as GOPers so cravenly creep and crawl and quiver until eventually they find a Dem mask to hide behind and lie and lie and gather Dem votes.

Blue Dog Dems. A major Yuck.
