Sending them the message that once again, the voters will hold their noses, is definitely the wrong message. They are counting on that, they don't care what we want, just so long as THEY get what they want.

The fear tactics don't work so well anymore. We did that, know the results, and are no longer impressed by them.

They have time now to rethink pushing THEIR choice on the people and provide a Democrat people can vote FOR rather than the 'lesser evil' we are constantly told is the 'way to go'.
