(10,007 posts)established under the Constitution, to run for the Presidency. How petty.
If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at ME and the rest of us who voted for Nader. I will still call you petty, because the basis for your anger is chimeric. The Democrats don't own our votes, just because we're liberals. The Democrats have to earn our votes, and if they decide to move to the center right they should not expect liberals to abandon our philosophy and follow along.
If Democrats want my vote, then they need to give me something. For example, Jeff Merkeley in Oregon has traditionally tacked left with his actions - so much so that the Oregonian withheld its endorsement because he was "too liberal" and not "bipartisan" enough. Thus, Merkeley earned my vote, because by his actions he has shown me that he is willing to get the job done for liberals.
