73. If their pathetic little party is so non-influential
how come it had so much power that it's ruining your life? So your problem with them is really their attitude? Their attitude that they know their 'pathetic 2.74%' of the vote is influential enough to swing the vote and that you know it, and that you both know Dems are going to have to work to get it, is what pisses you off.

I have the feeling it would gall you to see the Democratic party move even one more step to the left that selfish pride (or determined centrism) would prevent YOU from chasing that ever so elusive swing vote that's not coming in. You are willing to gamble away an entire "pathetic 2.74%", alienating more Dems as you go, to capture what? An even more pathetic 1% for another 4 more years of Bush?

Determined Centrist Voodoo math.
