Why I will vote Democratic on Tuesday

On November 2 I will vote Democratic because:
  • I believe Senate Republicants had a genuine opportunity to positively affect legislation over the past 24 months and sacrificed it for political gamesmanship.
  • I believe Republicant cries for fiscal responsibility lack credibility.
  • I want to fix Social Security, not toss it on the tables of Wall Street casinos.
  • I believe infrastructure investment is essential to this country's economic future.
  • I believe in pro-active energy and environmental policies and regulation of food, drugs, the financial industry, trade and product safety.
  • I am pro-choice, pro-gay rights and believe in the separation of church and state. I do not think the Republicant Party supports any part of this "agenda."
  • I believe the 2008 presidential election was fairly won and I resent conservative right claims it was not.
  • I believe the Democrats have a superior human rights record.
  • I believe the interests of the super-wealthy and multinational corporations are more important to the Republicant Party than the interests of the American voters.
  • There is no viable third party.

Note: When the Republicants stop using the term Democrat Party, I will stop using the term Republicant.

  2. I believe the Democrat party had an unbreakable majority in both houses of Congress for the past two years and no amount of Republican gamesmanship could do anything about it. Learn to count to 60. FAIL.

  3. The election of Scott Brown brought the number down to 59. Even before that, interparty cooperation could have strengthened the legislation. When the game is "take no prisoners" and "winner take all" the country is the loser.
