2. I have DINO Kay Hagan...who is with them on this...and the other

Richard Burr is a "bought and sold" Republican.

The two vote the same...but we are "TOLD" Kay Hagan the Dino Dem is our Hope. Yet she votes with Burr...(but..is a wee bit better on social issues). So we vote for the DINO who Does Free Trade and Iran Sanctions as Votes....and the Repug who Votes the same. BUT...Hagan tries to support Women's rights and Gay Rights and that's why we need to keep her in power. (Those are Important Dem Issues...but, when our Country is going down the Crapper on the OTHER ISSUES) is this a Trade Off that is good for all of us? Doesn't it all come down to both Women and Gays in this terrible economy suffering job losses, income equality and NSA Spying on Us and Targeting Us for our Democratic Beliefs?

Should Dems be a "Two Issue Party?"...(with a bit of gun rights and weed legalization) thrown in to "sweeten the pot: while we fall apart economically and keep the MIC War Machine victimizing our poorest children as recruits.

I don't know anymore.....(and...I figure some will take this post the wrong way) but, there's more to being a Democrat than defending Social Issues while the Repugs and Third Way Dems GAME US into POVERTY with their support of Wall Street and the "99 Percent SOLUTION...against Labor and the Rights of their Workers.



It's disgusting all around.
