A Question To Congress

Spoilt Sections of The Democrats

There are certain sections of the Democrat party, die hard Clinton supporters, who cannot accept that their candidate did not win the nomination for presidential candidate.

They are now, much like spoiled children, stamping their feet and vowing revenge upon Obama and the party; they threaten to vote Republican on 5 November.

Are these people so spoiled, selfish and immature that they would wreck their own party's prospects of kicking the Republicans out of office; simply to make the point that they don't like the outcome of the nomination process?

The party would be better off without these people.
