Yes I am tired of voting for right wing Democrats over extreme right wing Republicans. Nixon would be labeled a "socialist" today.

Sorry - oversight - I missed this line. True enough - which comes down to the media and their agenda overriding the interests of the nation. That is why we cannot get a genuinely qualified candidate through the primaries - often not even TO the primaries.
