For some absolute purity is more important than pragmatism.

Explain to us how you make a pragmatic choice between two dyed-in-the-wool liberals?

Here's just one of a million practical examples I can give.The ADA,"Americans For Democratic Action",is a filthy,despicable Marxist group that,along with other things,tries to instruct individual Marxists on who to support and what issues to support by publishing summaries of Congressional voting records and scores each officeholder.The higher the rating the better these Marxists like that particular Rep/Senator.

In 2010 (the last year for which they have a report) ,Scott Brown's ADA rating was 20%.That means that these Marxists believe that he voted "correctly" 20% of the time.By comparison,the ADA rated Ted Kennedy in 2007 (the last year when he had a complete voting record) at 85%.

Which is better,20% or 85%? Even if Romney (assuming he'll be the nominee) is correct only 10% of the time that'll be 10% vs 0%.Granted 10% isn't good...at all...I'll take it over 0% if those are my only choices.And don't even *dare* to mention Third Party/write in.I remember how many electoral votes Ross Perot got in 1992..*nearly one*!

And another quick example...Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe,two Senators that many here consider to be absolutely worthless RINOs,BOTH voted correctly on OsamaObamaCare.If you check the record not a single Rat/Commie Senator from New England came *close* to voting correctly on that bill.

If you think Obama is a "liberal" you're delusional.
