(To be fair, he did keep repeating it in the face of every attack on his reasoning, and your displeasure at his refusal to stop saying so, considering the importance of regaining the Senate majority. He did also state that just because a candidate was on the GOP ticket did not mean that they were necessarily the better candidate, but I think that is a reasonable position... just look at Zell Miller and his usual opponents!)
How does that banning compare to posters (and posts) like MurrayMom and her incessant "Repukie" comments? I'm pretty sure she won't be voting a straight-line GOP ticket next month. There are also PLENTY of Libertarian and Constitution Party supporters on FR. Are they risking a similar fate if they post their non-GOP voting preference in a Senate race?
