I don’t like establishment GOP one bit. I think they are largely RINO featherbedding cowards interested in their own second-tier power and perks. But I hate EVERYTHING about Democrats - what they stand for, what they think, and what they do, and I don’t see how voting for a Libertarian here in Georgia with 6% of the vote sates my hatred for that evil.

And I don't see how voting for Republicans, who have become Democrats in all but name, states your hatred either.

I’ve already voted. I voted against Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter - to keep the Democrats from perpetuating those two family names as second cousins to the Camelot Klan.

You see, by voting against these people you're voting for their replacements, no matter how bad they are — given your phrasing (voting against) I take it to mean you in no wise like the challengers but you have proven to the GOP that such people are good enough to get your vote and they therefore have no incentive to offer a better candidate insofar as your vote is concerned. So, in the future, they will offer a candidate that is just as bad, or worse, and expect your vote.

A lot of folks here seem like they’d support John Kerry and Hillary Clinton if they temporarily put a “R” next to their name.

You aren’t in Georgia. I remember Talmadge and the self-described defense expert Nunn. I remember Governor Jimmy Carter. I remember Max Cleland. I remember them all.

You think not voting is a panacea against RINOs when it is a prescription for more of the above. Yeah, Isakson and Chambliss grew to be a pair of highly stinking RINOs. But disgust, bitch slapping and hollering pulled them back from acquiescence on Bush/McCain’s first Amnesty proposal, didn’t it? (you probably don’t know, but it did).

Likewise, growing distaste and constant constituent flak is what convinced that bastard Chambliss to retire. It is what will keep Isakson in tow, or it will make him retire, too. And the same damn thing goes for Perdue. Just because I voted for him against some mouse of a daughter of Nunn’s isn’t a pass by an measure.

I’m taking care of things here in Georgia the best way I know how; I suggest you do the same in New Mexico before you castigate me.
