>> You and many from the GOP have proven that you have hatred for the Democrats.

As a social moderate I would LOVE to be able to support what Democrats are doing. The problem is that you get liberal fiscal policy along with it.

I have in the past supported democratic senators on social issues, but then you get slapped in the face with a Blanche Lincoln supporting a socialist fiscal policy, even though she knows her constituency doesn't want it.

I actually posed the question to Lincoln's point man on health care. His response to me was that the senator knows Arkansans don't want the health care reform bill, but SHE believes it is the best thing. Her function in life is to represent what she reasonably believes to be OUR views. Not what SHE believes is the "best thing". We give that authority to our president but the Senate is to provide a check/balance on the president's actions. She and a substantial number of other senators are going against that responsibility.

It will be a very long time before I support a democrat again. Last time I voted for the f*cking Green Party candidate to keep from supporting Mark Pryor and I intend to put my energy behind getting rid of these Harry Reid, Barack Obama puppets in the future.
