Another truth - the lesser evil is still evil.
If the 'Pubbies want my vote they have to give me someone worth voting for.
Or they have to give me enough of a distinction in the platforms to make the other candidate worth voting against.
Unfortunately, the 'Pubbies are looking more and more like the Democrats I used to vote against in 1980's. I voted against 'em then, I'll vote against 'em now.
What will you have to say for yourself when you've not-voted pelosi in as speaker? It's the "perot effect"...the PURIST attitude that's killed us twice before. What is it they say about doing the same dumb thing over and over again....and always expecting a different outcome? No my conservative collegue, you may hold your nose but vote republican, it's the only way we'll keep the bad guys on the left marginalized. Give them the levers of control in congress and it will be your worst nightmare...
