So if I want to have any voice at all, even a small one, I have to choose between Rs and Ds. If that turns out to be a choice between the lesser of two evils, I prefer an evil R to and evil D.
That's how I got there. Unless you forgot to mention that you support Republicans but hold your nose while doing so because you don't embrace what they do.
I think it's kinda convoluted, but then again you indicate that you think my conclusions are as well. Oh well.
I think that goes without saying.
The larger the majority the Republicans have, the better chance of getting what I want (as in, "Leave Me and My Stuff Alone!"). Along the way, Olympia Snowe Republicans are bound to show up. She's nuts, but she and others like her give Republicans the majority, and the majority decides which bills will be heard, and which won't.
Snowe and her ilk work against what I want, but they enable people who work for what I want to have greater control of the agenda.
