The Cowtown Chronicles

Republicans.

How can one honestly call themselves a Democrat (and by implication that they support the same policies and positions as the Democratic Party) and then vote for McCain?

Don’t give me that “experience” bullshit. We don’t align ourselves with political parties or causes because one or the other is more experienced. We do it because they share our worldview and promote positions that we agree with. To call yourself a Democrat and to be willing to vote for a Republican (particularly one that so violently disagrees with Democratic positions) is the worst kind of dishonesty with yourself.

I think it goes back to fear. Some people are so convinced that we’re under immediate threat of attack from anyone and everyone that they’re going to go with the guy (or woman in the form of Hillary Clinton) who says that they’ll take the fight to the enemy and all that macho BS. It’s sad, really.
