Comments on: Will Dems Capture The Middle In 2008? http://donklephant.com/2007/08/07/will-dems-capture-the-middle-in-2008/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

The chances of me voting for a Democrat or a Republican come the presidential election are about 0% respectively. I'm sick of the anemic one-upsmanship the Democrats are playing. I voted for them across the board in the last election to in hopes they would cut the funding on the War completely. I knew there was little chance of that ever happening, but there was no other options for someone against the war. It was the Dems or nothing. Now that I know where they stand I'm certain I wont be voting for them ever again. These Democrats are complicit in the war as far as I am concerned, nearly every last one of them voted for the resolution to go to war. I will be voting for the Green party, if that is, they are even allowed to be on the ballot. The Dems and Republicans have a history of shutting out any viable competitors so... we will see. I plan to continue to contribute to causes like Code Pink and Veterans Against The Iraq War because they are one of the few orginizations taking a visible stand against the war. I figure it's better to give to causes that are doing something rather than give to political candidates which are making a lot of promises but committing few actions.
