When Democrats talk like Republicans -- Bob Kerrey on Lawrence O'Donnell this evening

You have got it.

We elect politicians to support our best interests. When they do not, I personally do not vote for them. I do not know about everyone else, but I personally define my prevalent issues and I look for politicians who will vote in my best interests. That, in theory, is how we speak in our political system. So what does a person do when neither candidate supports the interests of the constituent?

At the very least, speak out before the election. Voice your opinion. Tell a Blue Dog democrat his approach is not the answer, it is the approach that supports the elite in our society, and his constituents are comprised of many, many people who do not fit into that category.

That is what elections are about. Define what is truly important to you, speak out, and then vote according to your personal preference. I personally could never be comfortable living in a state where the best candidate I could vote for was a Blue Dog; therefore, I choose to live in the State of Maryland, one of the bluest of the states, and I feel comfortable in my own political skin. Hey, but that is just me. I do realize that is not everyone's prerogative.

Great response and thanks for posting on my thread.
