OK, where is inconsistency? if you have a lousy democrat, it doesn't make him good, and vice versa, just because of party name in front of his name. Isn't this a good thing? Elect people on merit? Where did I ever say I personally will never vote for a good Rep candidate for higher office? I hated Bush JR and his whole administration, but there were excellent Rep presidents. I think of myself as sophisticated enough not to стричь всех под одну гребенку.
