"I NEVER, again, want the democrats to hold the Presidency and the Congress."
I understand your position and respect your resolve.
I just do not agree with the premise that being a member of a particular "party" makes one candidate more worthwhile than another.
It has been said that character can be defined as doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
Speaking only for myself, I recall this bit of wisdom every time I enter the voting booth.
I respect your opinion on this matter. However, GWB is in the White House, today, because Ralph Nader received enough votes to take the election victory from Gore. In that election, it worked for Republicans. Ross Perot gave us the clinton slime machine for 8 years.
