Think of it! 10,000 Republicans became Democrats for a day in an attempt to derail Dennis' re-nomination effort. They failed, as did the corporate Democrats. Now, the Republicans have their nominee and they will stop at nothing to defeat Dennis (and don't worry, the corporatized DINOs will be supporting the Repug). Let's not let that happen!

Go Dennis! :woohoo:

For those of us on the Left, Dennis is OUR Congressman!

2. One honest man in a corrupt system.
The creation of an 'official orthodoxy' is characteristic of fascism and Kucinich, Webb, Wexler are victims of 'officialdom'. The same 'officialdom' annoints the 'official conspiracy theories' and discount --out of hand --all others.

3. but but but I thought
Republicans only vote in Democratic primaries because they've seen the light. Are you suggesting that they may have other motives?

No way.

Boston Globe: Clinton recieved more than 100K GOP votes in Tx & Ohio

Source: Boston Globe

Many voting for Clinton to boost GOP
Seek to prolong bitter battle

By Scott Helman
Globe Staff / March 17, 2008
For a party that loves to hate the Clintons, Republican voters have cast an awful lot of ballots lately for Senator Hillary Clinton: About 100,000 GOP loyalists voted for her in Ohio, 119,000 in Texas, and about 38,000 in Mississippi, exit polls show.

Since Senator John McCain effectively sewed up the GOP nomination last month, Republicans have begun participating in Democratic primaries specifically to vote for Clinton, a tactic that some voters and local Republican activists think will help their party in November. With every delegate important in the tight Democratic race, this trend could help shape the outcome if it continues in the remaining Democratic primaries open to all voters.

Spurred by conservative talk radio, GOP voters who say they would never back Clinton in a general election are voting for her now for strategic reasons: Some want to prolong her bitter nomination battle with Barack Obama, others believe she would be easier to beat than Obama in the fall, or they simply want to register objections to Obama.

"It's as simple as, I don't think McCain can beat Obama if Obama is the Democratic choice," said Kyle Britt, 49, a Republican-leaning independent from Huntsville, Texas, who voted for Clinton in the March 4 primary. "I do believe Hillary can mobilize enough people to keep her out of office."
