Candidates who have gone off the reservation and support positions that run contrary to their party's own stated platform should rightfully be denounced, shunned and get their backsides handed to them at the next primary.

For far too long, too many people have looked at candidates with blinders on focused only on their party label, but not on their voting record.

Those same people have also provided cover for candidates abysimal record by stating that someone with a "-r" is far better than someone with a "-d".

Why?

If a republican votes like a democrat, then where is the difference?

I'm seeing this problem slowly change with people paying more attention to candidates and asking questions.
