3. Don't look up that list of who voted for it. |
|
You'll be shocked.
I certainly was. Shocked and betrayed.

5. Trouble is, we can't vote them out. |
|
Otherwise we've voting repuke. (or so I've been told countless times.)
We're stuck voting for them and, let's face it, there are still many decent Dems around. Saw a couple on CSPAN when flipping channels last week.
Now if only the same Dems would do more to ensure offshoring doesn't happen, then I won't have a problem with people voting for the thing. A level playing field is good. Skewing it is not good. :-( Maybe some who voted Aye think the system is ethical right now. (Noooo, it isn't.)

6. they're great collusion' in dc to say the very least... |
|
it is often not enough to rely on old jimmy stewart movies to discern between the good guys & the bad guys...and gals. i don't think we'll be needing to vote republican; just be more certain to cull the pride for more bona fide candidates able to vote our conscience imo.

7. Oops. A clarification on my part for my own mistake: |
|
I mean if we not vote or vote 3rd party, the old cliche of "A vote against Dems is a vote for repukes" is suggested.
That's why we're stuck voting Dem. No other party is as remotely as viable.

9. The answer is a primary challenge, then |
|
I'm fortunate in being represented by Howard Berman in the House, and Boxer/Feinstein in the Senate. Berman almost always votes the way I would, and Boxer and Feinstein are much better than most of the Senate.
But if your Congresshuman is voting for the GOP's agenda, then you have to organize locally to get a strong, progressive primary challenger. A strong enough challenge will at least scare your Rep into realizing he/she has to move a little to the left.

Most of mine are genuine repukes though, but I will keep your idea in mind.
