Reply #36: Ok lets take dianne feinsten [View All]

[nadinbrzezinski]

She has started to vote the "right way" in the recent past because she is an uncanny politico and can smell the winds of change. But lets review her voting record on things that matter to me....

The bankruptcy bill for it
NAFTA For it
IWR for it
I could go on...

She has done things that are not personal orthodoxy, but that in my view are not helping me and the people of the US... She is also a member of the DLC, and her husband is a member of the Carlyle group. Is she better than a Moderate Republican? Probably not, but they are a rare species, because the DLC is what the Moderate Repubs used to be. Is she preferable to the run of the mill Repub? yes... but that does not mean that I, in good conscience, can vote for her.

In the end this is an individual decision, that is why they are called elections. But at the end of the day, I will not do what the Repubs do, hold my nose and vote for them just because they have a D behind their name... sorry will not do it... for me it is about the individual and a choice between a Dem or third party... notice not republican or for that matter libertarian, but the D or third party.
