I have an ex hooked in with that Kaine segment. Part of the reason he ditched me had to do with his Pied Piper reaction to Obama. He thought he was going to be connected to DC through HRC. But he bet on the wrong horse. Still, I cannot understand that politics and power won out over the kids and me. But that is the sad story. Power corrupts. The thought of power and riches can corrupt many men.

"...Still, I cannot understand that politics and power won out over the kids and me..."

Arggh. That is discouraging to hear your example. I am very ideological, but not for political reasons, but for philosophical reasons.

I look at the Left, and nearly every concept they espouse is antithetical to my beliefs. I am looking not at the holding of power as an end to be celebrated as the Left does, but as a means to ensure my personal freedoms (as well as those of everyone else I meet whether they care about their own freedom or not)

I am not comfortable being around that part of my family, not because I am politically opposed to their views, but because I cannot reconcile how they can embrace those views, which will do them and everyone else harm in the end.

I have to come to grips with that. I am sorry to hear your story on this. I am sure you can only shake your head at it.

Particularly because Tim Kaine is a zero. He got to be governor because the Virginia GOP leadership is loaded with and dominated by Chamber of Commerce Kasich types and absolutely will not try and attract the votes of white working class males. Kaine is just personally creepy and weak. Considering Hitlery’s health I was appalled that the Dems picked such a rubber chicken for number 2.
