So, you would support his liberal Democrat opponent instead? Or not vote (which effectively amounts to pretty much the same thing)?

Minuet

---

(French - menuet; German - Menuett; Italian - minuetto).
A dance, of French origin, in a moderate triple metre. It was known at Louis XIV's court as an elegant social dance performed by one couple at a time, and remained the most popular dance among the European aristocracy until the late 18th century. Lully introduced numerous minuets into his operas and ballets and the dance was frequently included in Baroque keyboard and ensemble suites. Italian minuets, often in 3/8 or 6/8 time, were faster.
The minuet was the only important dance to survive info the Classical period. Italian opera overtures of the early 18th century often close with a minuet, as do many symphonies by G.B. Sammartini, Abel, J.W. Stamitz and Monn and some early piano sonatas by Haydn. After about 1770 the ternary minuet-trio-minuet (da capo), derived from the Baroque practice of playing two minuets 'alternativement', became the standard third (occasionally second) of four movements in symphonies and string quartets. Haydn was the first to substitute movements called 'scherzo' for minuets (in his string quartets op.33) and Beethoven preferred vigorous and robust scherzos in the standard minuet and trio layout, sometimes extended to include a repeat of the trio and a second repeat of the scherzo.

19th-century composers were less interested in the minuet, but some 20th-century composers, including Francaix, Bartók, Schönberg and Ravel, have revived it for its associations with the past.

5 minuets? Did he keep stepping on your toes?

[FOG724]

Winning should not be your primary goal. If you feel he doesn't adequately represent you then don't support him.

The final straw for me is his love of illegal aliens. I'll be sitting the Senate race out.

Not true, there is a conservative alternative who will give DeWine a real test in the primary.DeWine is not doing well in the polls.If it comes right down to it I would have to vote DeWine but hold my nose.

[JimRed]

(in my best Julie Andrews voice) Shall we dance?

[hosepipe]

Wonder what Hillary and minions have on DeWine?..

[eeevil conservative]

Thank you for being true to yourself...

Base your politics on your morals.. not your morals on the letter (D) or (R).....

We need to stay true to the Republican agenda and values.. and when our Representatives don't- remember that THEY left us.. we did NOT leave them....

Cudos to you for doing just this!

It is those of us that keep our integrity and hold their feet to the fire that can save the Republican Party and this country... not those that Vote R no matter what the morons do....

I spoke with one of his staff to voice my displeasure about his opposition to John Bolton becoming U.N. Ambassador. She said the Senator would be issuing a formal statement to justify his position and asked if I wanted his letter sent to me. Of course, I said, "Yes."

When it arrived, I couldn't believe the lack of thoughtfulness which went into his decision. All he could say was that he had heard that Mr. Bolton was rude to people in the past and he didn't think that would make for a good Ambassador. What a sell-out. I'm sure certain funds have wended their way into his bank account due to the "decisions" he has made on behalf of his constituents. I'll never vote for him again!

Instead,he practically ranted when I challanged him

Yeah, dewine is worthless.

I'm sorry to hear you shelled out the big bucks to attend this "celebration." Perhaps you might know better next time.

For Senator I'm writing in Gary Burbank.

[TexasRedeye]

...primarilly... I think you can support whichever "R" you want in the primaries but it is a hugh deal to support a "D" or simply not vote in the general election.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm not throwing away my primary vote.

May 2nd, I'm voting for Bill Pierce.

Imagine your boss asking you to justify a questionable decision and you snapping back, "what about all the right decisions I've made?".

These guys forget who they work for and get too comfortable.

It's a shame that politicians seem to become so full of themselves and treat their constituents so poorly. I have to agree with you that he is not one of those that is interested in contributing to the good of his state. Unfortunately, the only worse thing is that a democrat is elected... You do have a tough choice and it does seem to be a problem for way too many of our Republican politicians.
