5. They have no INCENTIVE to change.
Edited on Mon Feb-23-09 01:05 PM by No.23
They still receive your support as the lesser evil of the two anyway.

Why should they change, if they're going to get your vote even if they don't?

You have to give them a motivation to change.

By withholding your support until they've earned it.

Why is that such a novel concept to some of us?

It's a tool of effective parenting for many parents.

You spoil the Democrats by giving them something that they want but haven't earned.

They need to earn it.

And you need to be able to say no until they do.
