Make Republican lives miserable

10. I appreciate the sentiment behind your comment

of bringing the disillusioned into our camp, but it's a double-edged sword, IMO. I think it's one of the reasons the Democratic party has gotten so weak over the last decade or more. We've allowed too many "rinos" into the tent without thorough vetting, and they've hollowed out the party from within. We've gone from huge working man supporters to being in bed with too many big money men or moral ninnies. We do still have some heavy-hitter, democrat ideologically speaking, but we've also got way too many people who got disillusioned under GW and we've only grown them since then.

While we need the numbers who are definitely on our side, I worry we've got too many voter splitters are worse now. Like I said, it's a two-edged sword. Meanwhile, those of us who are dyed in the wool democrats... heavily ideological to the main-stay democratic principles... are too often felt we are pushed aside and/or ignored.
