The punishment of wise men who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men.

” - - - The punishment of wise men who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men.”

Plato would have been a great Campaign Manager: ‘ insult the intelligence of the voters with really dumbed-down Candidates. ‘

I don’t know what the stats are, but I suspect that the higher the achieved education level of the voter, the lower the voter participation is.

BTW, if my above hunch is correct, then it is no wonder that the Federal politicians want to spend so much of OUR money on Education!

If you value your vote, then vote your values!

Now is the time for all good men and women to put Country above Party.

For far to long the RINO Wing of the Republican Party has been in control of losing our National Elections.

The time has come to cast aside the hold-your-nose clothespins that the RINOs expect us to use when they ask us to vote for their tweedle-dumb or tweedle-dumber Candidates.

To all TEXAS Primary voters: List the top 10 demonstrated positive values for each Candidate for all offices, and vote accordingly.

If there is no Candidate that meets your values for a given office, then leave that office slot blank.

This will then be a “None-Of-The-Above,” or ABSTAIN vote, AND the fact that you voted in the election will be counted, as you turn in your ballot.

This “None-of-the-Above” vote is a protest voter message directed to the Republican National Committee: CHOOSE BETTER CANDIDATES WITH BETTER VALUES IF YOU WANT OUR VOTES NEXT TIME!

Even if you turn in a totally unmarked ballot for any Candidate for any office your ballot will still be recorded as a legal vote in the election.

One office slot left blank, or all office slots left blank your ballot will still be counted as a ballot cast in this election.

Vote FOR, AGAINST, OR LEAVE BLANK, BUT DO CAST YOUR BALLOT.

The worst thing that you could do is to stay home and not vote.

The RINOs love it when we do not vote, as it means to them that we are just “apathetic,” and thus the RINOs know that we will let them do anything that they want to.

To throw off the stranglehold RINO yoke, we need a massive voter turnout on this TEXAS Primary Election Day!

Vote FOR the VALUES that has made America great!

If you value your vote, then vote your values!
