"They don't care about you"- Carlin
I get it. Some here think that we need to continue supporting our elected officials because they have a D after their name. BS. I support the D if they support the principles. I'm a senior..been jerked around by this economy enough to make anyones' hair stand on end. I'm sick of the wars and war profiteering and not holding wall street acccountable. Not one friggin indictment..not one. Give a shit about the middle class and I'm in. Provide just one effective solution to the foreclosure crisis, I'm in. Get the hell out of Afghanistan and I don't care who makes that happen, they get my vote.

1. Having leaders like Scott Walker is so much better isn't it?

Do your country a favor and don't bother to vote.

5. Plenty of Dems following Walker's lead these days...
Bashing teachers and unions and selling out to Big Oil and Wall Street.

7. So, what would be acceptable to you? Party loyalty oaths?
Obviously, anyone talking about putting principles ahead of Party must be an enemy.

4. i think you've been beating your head against that wall too much
i'm really not interested in what you think of me.or how you want to insult me..and that you don't even know me. That's on you. I have no relationship with you. I posted my thoughts and you told me, basically, that I shouldn't be able to vote. Done. Fini. Not sure if you support the things that I oppose in the original post although I can't imagine why anyone here would support afghanistan or war profiteering, etc. I don't care how insulting you are, this is not about you and me. It's just not.

6. 1000+ posts...
and you're just now figuring this out.

It is democraticuncerground after all. There are many dedicated party people here, but they are civil to liberal minded unaffiliates like me (and you, I assume).

If you will only support a candidate that agrees with all you positions then you should run.
