Man! Why is this dude even a Democrat? I mean, I know that in order for us to compete everywhere and win back the house that we cant have a purity test. But this guy doesnt agree with the Democrats on anything. And on top of that, it isnt like he is in a conservative or swing district. His district is solid Democratic.

In fact, Obama loyalists were so steamed that 10 former aides and volunteers stood in Axelrods old offices for the Thursday news conference the very place they said Michelle and Barack Obama made their decision to launch a 2008 presidential bid.

that they actually hold the same stances/mission as the political party they join which why people have to stop looking only for the letter next to a candidates name and ask questions and do 15 minutes of research before voting.
Hopefully Democrats in his district are smart and well informed enough to give this DINO the boot.
