Mi dos centavos:

I’m not fazed by those (usually on the left) who use a small percentage of clowns on the far right—or just clowns—as a characterization of the entire Republican party. So some clowns have supported Hoffman. Big deal. How many clowns supported Governor Dukakis from their prison cells while “conservatives” were against Dukakis for being soft on crime?

There are a few degrees of separation from clowns on both sides with their party leaders. But there are at least a couple exceptions. Hoffman would represent one seat out of 435 and will likely never rise to a leadership position. OTOH, Rep. Pelosi claims “the CIA lies all the time” and Senator Reid claimed “this war is lost” while our troops were deployed on the battlefield. In these two cases Democrat party leaders have publicly come out against people who are trying to protect us from terrorists. Then there’s Pelosi and Reid’s best friend the NY Times running a full page ad attaking General Petraeus while our troops are deployed in a hostile country. Additionally they claim they want to insure everyone, while the truth is that they want to use the power of the government to control as much of the previously private sector, and our lives, as possible.

…still looking for a compelling reason to vote democrat, but don’t see one.
