I’d have to hold my nose and vote for him as well.
Two things we need to remember.
#1 Ross Perot got us Bill Clinton. I won’t make that mistake again.
#2 The political process has changed dramatically in the last decade. Thank you Algore for inventing the internet. President Bush and our Republican congress critters found that out when they tried to push amnesty this year. We were able to get educated via the internet and talk radio and we pushed back...with authority. We have a lot more power now than before. It is easier for us now to push back at our own when they try to do something we don’t like.

Agree, sometimes you just gotta support the lesser of two weasels

"Pushing back" is only talk. It's essentially a threat, or promise, not to vote for the bugger if he does the thing you oppose, or doesn't do the thing you favour.

What happens when he goes against you ... and then a year or two later, you go and vote for him anyway?

Seems to me, you lose your credibility. Will your "push back" do any good then? Or will the politicians correctly view it as mere empty posturing?
