56. Yikes.
Rather than attacking people's mentalities, how about you tell us why snarlin' is good to have in the party?

I am a purist. I was tempered by a one line post -

"Better he votes with us 20% of the time as a D than 10% of the time as an R."



Yes, there is an upside. And a real downside - this makes it harder to run a real D when the time comes. But as I understand it there is also a governer's race to run. Let the GOP waste money trying to take Arlen out. If they succeed, we can beat them next time around with a moderate (left of specter) dem.

Overall I see this as a slight gain for lots of probable trouble in the future.


Your post, on the other hand, just pisses me off. Nazis. Sheesh.
