This line of attack is wearing thin and accomplishing nothing.

I voted straight GOP in this election here in PA... but there's no way I could have brought myself to vote for Mike Fitzpatrick if he had been in my district. The man bailed on the war, distanced himself from the President and touted his Sierra Club endorsements endlessly in the final weeks of the campaign. The guy deserved to lose, damn the consequences. And that's precisely what he did.

I don't begrudge anyone their right to not vote for that squish, or any other squish like him.

Instead of blaming voters for not supporting 10th rate candidates, maybe you should save some of that ire for the impotents who gave these squishes to us in the first place.

Or should we all just be like lobotomized Democrats and vote solely based on the letter accompanying the candidate's name?

The guy deserved to lose...plus he had such a hopeless, hangdog look about him, even in his commercials, that he looked as though he had already been beaten weeks before the first votes were cast - it's amazing he came as close as he did to winning......

RINO candidates? That's why we have primaries.

Exactly.
