"The "purist" can stuff it -- their brand of conservatism is annoying! The my way or no way is a little hard to take most of the time!"
Thank you, PKM! I can understand the frustration to a point. I, myself, once claimed I wouldn't vote for Sen. Specter. On election day, however, I held my nose and voted for the "least worst" candidate!
I cannot bring myself to vote for a Democrat so more than once I have held my nose and voted -- at least I feel I can gripe when I don't like something because I voted! :)
