    @ScepticalGeek

    You said: "There has been a lot of depressing blather in the letters. A number have suggested that if the Democratic Party (owned by the same lot that owns the Republican Party, BTW) nominates HRC, we MUST vote for her or we deserve Republican rule. What nonsense. If the Dems won't give us a candidate that supports our interests, then the Democratic Party isn't supporting our interests and we need a new party. One that does, perhaps. Wouldn't that be novel?"

    Yes, and if we could eat with our feet we wouldn't need hands. When will you be starting up your new party, hm? Blather (er, talk) is cheap.
