***I realize I've been threatening to with-hold my vote from the republicans for a while now. I'm going to make good on it. *** ...and vote Democrat? That's NOT the only option; although I am the first to admit that the winning candidate will be a democrat or republican in most instances. It is just a matter of how you are willing to go to compromise your principles.
***and vote Democrat?*** was in response to another poster claiming he/she would not vote Republican again. But I understand what you're suggesting. ;o)
