How does making someone EARN my vote equate to electing Democrats? If the Republicans have not earned my vote, then the Dems may win by default...but I don't owe my vote to the Republicans. They have no claim to it. They must earn it. If they fail to meet my standards, they don't get my vote. Period. No amount of "BUT THE DEM WOULD BE SO MUCH WORSE" based fear-mongering will change my position.
Well then the next forty years of Democrat control won't bother you. Congratulations. It'll scare the hell out of me.
Thank you. I had you pegged correctly.
