then they'd cite a half dozen polls showing their candidate's invincibilty, and then tell us to go vote for Nader. You and I would end up fighting them back and forth about what the meaning of 'quid pro quo' really is, and then they'd start a thread about their candidate's healthcare plan, or their plan for ending poverty, or their plan for ending the Iraq occupation. Then they'd list every single latest endorsement, while deftly trying to ignore the 'quid pro quo' that probably went on there, too.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all that bullsh*t. The supporters of candidates who have corporate money and corporatist views are part of the problem,not part of the solution. The DLC needs to be shown the door, but of course, that will never happen. This Party needs to actually nominate a candidate that will not try and triangulate it to the Right of Attila the Hun, but that won't happen, either.

I don't know what the answer is, but it needs to stop. And 2008 is the year it stops for me.
