[quote=Anonymous][quote]I do. If there is a Republican on the Council or Mayoral Ticket, or an indeoendent I know is central (not fringey) I vote for them hands down. Pur city needs a more balanced approach to these kinds of issues.[/quote]

Me too.  I vote for the most conservative democrat in the primary and then usually vote Republican as well.  I have come to the conclusion that democracy functions best when there are two vibrant political parties who are capable of compromise.  One party rule is a failure---whether it be far-right Tea Party state legislatures who cut taxes to the point that their schools have to go to 4 day weeks---or the far-left democrats on the DC Council.  Tolerance of "disorder" in the name of liberal sympathy does nothing for anyone.  There should not be tent encampments at Dupont Circle.  We need all day shelters, and a substantial amount of additional supervised housing for the mentally ill, but just allowing mentally ill people and addicts to live in the tents on the street is not the answer.[/quote]
