Who you support tells a lot about you. Why you support them tells even more.

                    WHO YOU SUPPORT MATTERS

If you don't remember David Duke let me refresh your memory. Duke fancied himself a leader of the Ku Klux Klan - a white southern group founded by the Democrats after the Civil War and more recently funded clandestinely by the SPLC (The Southern Poverty Law Center) as a way to increase donations to the SPLC coffers. He ran in Louisiana as a Republican for Governor and the US Senate - but even though he was a registered Republican, he was an extremist and a racist.

He had also been a Democrat and a Nazi. The Republican Party, headed by George Bush, unequivocally disavowed him and told people not to vote for him. And it worked, he lost. That is what you should do - disavow extremists.

Fast forward to 2026, Graham Platner is running for US Senator from Maine - setting up a race between an extremist left wing Democrat and a very liberal Republican incumbent, Susan Collins. To say she doesn't want President Trump to campaign for her is un understatement! She represents her state passionately, and votes her conscience 100%.  Yet because of the R behind her name, she's vulnerable. Democrats are falling all over themselves to endorse and campaign for Platner, a candidate with a Nazi SS death squad tattoo, numerous allegations of womanizing and abusive relationships, demeaning comments about folks in the military, and too many questionable statements to catalog. He's ahead in the polls.

Yes, I'm comfortable being with the party that disavowed Duke. I'm amazed that Democrats backing Platner is even an option...but it is. Democrat Party leaders say, "We just need someone to oppose the President on everything all the time." Surely the Democrats can do better. The Party of Believe All Women has a real problem putting words into action.
