Emotional extortion and blackmail games by a very small percentage of the left threatening 3rd Party bids or withdrawal of support if a radical agenda is not adopted that the majority will not approve of are simply unrealistic. It’s a murder-suicide pact and the Party is never going to agree to it.

I resent it too. There is such a thing as priorities and knowing when to chose your battles. As far as I’m concerned, the biggest priority we have in this election is making sure Bush doesn’t get elected in November, and there is NOT ONE of the current candidates that would not be a better choice that Bush. NOT ONE.

If you want to vote 3rd Party, that is your right. Do it. If you want to vote for Bush out of spite because Howard Dean did not get the nomination, then do it. And please seek therapy. But don’t come to me or the Party with emotional extortion or blackmail demands, because it will get you nowhere. The votes lost from the moderates would exceed those gained. The math doesn’t work in your favor.
