To be honest with you, Ralph Hall, my rep, doesn't seem to be one of the more extreme Republicans, but I wouldn't vote for him over a progressive, or even *gasp* a Third Way Dem(real or supposed), just because of the Syria fiasco.

(Simpsons reference)

You admitted it!

Or Ralph Wiggum.

You're asking that I am such a single-issue voter that everything else that the RW stands for and I abhor pales in comparison to this issue?

If so, then no, I am not, and no I will not vote for a right wing Rep.

I don't think many DUers are actually single issue voters despite that arguments can get heated and it may look that way from an outside observer not familiar with DU-isms, they'll vote their conscious and even if a right winger does something we want, we wouldn't vote for them.

against any politician who supports cuts to Social Security. We've already had a sequestration. We've had across the board cuts. What is the likelyhood that if we have to spend money in Syria that we will have to have further cuts? I think spending money on Syria when we should be spending money on SS, education, food stamps, and other domestic programs will affect people's votes.

Despite his deficit cut rhetoric and his "fixing social security" rhetoric.

(Note: mathematically SS runs out in the next few decades, I personally don't know why Obama was championing Chained-CPI, it would never happen under his tenure. He should've left it the fuck alone.)

representatives voted on economic issues. We are supposedly 4 years into a recovery and whether due to unemployment, underemployment, or low wages people are not feeling that recovery. They are suffering and eventually that will figure into how they vote.

Can't say anything else, you're right on that.

I will never vote for Leonard Lance. He will always win in the NJ 7th - but I'm still voting for someone with a D after their name.

ETA - and I won't vote for that anointed one if he votes yes either!

He can't win with me - but I still harass him on Facebook.

And my tea party asshole is voting NO on the resolution. But he'd likely vote YES on impeachment and has voted YES consistently to kill ACA.

Who in the Sam Hell here is a one issue voter? I would hope nobody.

I certainly am not. I am more educated than that. I hope.

Huh?

In fact the candidate, by definition, under the question, is not elected. I'm talking about people who currently have a RW Representative.

Why keep someone who agrees on one issue when a replacement may agree on that as well and far more. I don't get the purpose of the question at all

a republican but it may mean they won't vote for a democrat especially if that democrat has voted against the people's interest time after time after time which many democrats have done.

of course, none of my reps support it, so this is hypothetical...

I'd vote for someone I trust to use his or her conscience as a guide, regardless of whether I agreed with the actual vote or not.

Their vote is truly their positions on issues we care about.

I agree the GOP votes willynilly against Democratic ideals, but the point of the OP was whether we'd join to vote for the GOP even when their ideals coincide with our own. The responses to this OP are promising, to me. I'm glad for it (even if some posters have been unnecessarily insulting).

I don't have one in my area.

...while I don't agree with the vote, I can appreciate her position. I doubt she'll have any primary challenger...too many of us worked too hard to get her elected...and know what the "alternative" is...

Assuming there was another more progressive candidate on the ballot.

...including their level of experience and ability to hold the seat. Since I don't see any challenger on the horizon, I don't wee this happening and I'd probably stay with the incumbent as I agree with her on a vast majority of the issues. In short, is this vote a "deal breaker". No...

As is my my Democratic senator. And my Republican senator, for that matter.

But voting to stop the military intervention doesn't make up for all that other right-wing bullshit.

I don't like the terminology "cow queen" but the more no votes the better.

And I'm sure she'll appreciate your thanks. If she votes no let her know that you appreciate her vote against it and that you are left leaning or progressive and maybe that will have an affect on her future politics (wishful thinking, I know, but still).
