To: Night Hides Not
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.

-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

I am tired of voting for enemies of the Republic, regardless of what letter they put after their name.

That includes those who, when they had the advantage to set things back on course, squandered it usurping still more power to an overly broad and powerful government to the detriment of the Republic and us all.

I will not presume to tell anyone else what to do with their precious vote, nor will I cast my ballot frivolously, but there comes a time when the only viable choice is "none of the above".

Amen to that! I'm voting conservative,straight down the line....no exceptions. That's where my heart is;my soul as well. If I have to write someone in, I will. I've had it with the GOP. Period.

Nothing says 'none of the above' louder than writing in "Vladimir Putin!"
