Progressive Democrats (myself included) are not happy about the choices they have in November. The prospects of living under Republican governance for the next two years is met with a glumness. MoveOn.org publishes a ballot guide asking local voters their ballot choices. As you can see from the statements below, that glumness is palpable.
The most laughable statement is that he is the more moderate of the two candidates. I would say his recent comments against a pathway to citizens for Mexican immigrants beg to differ. Both Rep. Gary Miller and Sen. Bob Dutton are Conservative extremists in moderate clothing, twisting their principles to try and comform with a nonexistant moderation.
Some of the top rated reasons for supporting Mr. Dutton are to vote against Gary Miller. There is much resignation in the ranks of Democrats that a plum seat has been lost in the short term.
In 2014, when a much stronger Democratic candidate emerges to lift the Inland Empire out of this Conservative morass Progressive Democrats will stand ready to bring this seat back into the Democratic fold.
"I am unhappy with the lack of a Democratic candidate on the ticket. Both of these individuals are slimy developers who have done bad things, insofar as I amconcerned, in developing land in and around our foothills here."
"He is the more moderate of the two candidates "
"Gary Miller is a carpetbagger in this election. He has never represented our area and doesn't deserve to do it now."
"All Republican incumbents need to go. Simple as that. Too bad there isn't a Democrat on the ticket."
"A no brainer!"
"I wish to vote as progressives vote."
"Lesser of two evils"
"I've been getting robo calls about what a dickhead Gary Miller is."
