How exactly does this deny "Democracy"? Are you telling me people shouldnt be allowed to run as they wish, thereby YOU are denying them Democracy?

um.. no..
I thought the Democrat who ran 3rd party in NY 26 was running as a member of the Tea Party? I thought the TP was for Dems, Reps, and anyone else who wanted to join it, except you can't really join b/c they want to avoid all responsibility.

I wonder if we could possibly count the number of times in our history that someone who once had an R or a D next to their name then later ran with an I next to it.

Having said that, EPIC THREAD FAIL

Do you know the difference between real, and fake? Doesnt sound like it.. because I'm pretty sure a candidate ran..

All we see is the Democrats whining and crying, and getting ready to setup their lame ass excuses when they fail!!!

It was in NY-26, not 23 . Otherwise it's like a fox news excuse broken record Davis was a lifelong republican who turned democrat, back republican then turned tea party. Though again the right say the tea party is a mix of democrats, republicans and independents so his presence shouldn't effect the right or left any different
