Opie just cracked me up talking about changing the system & breaking agendas by voting for an entrenched Republican that loves hiking taxes. You can't make this stuff up! :-D

I'll take the ribbing.

I just can't continue to vote for the parties in power. I'll vote Independent or Libertarian or Green for that matter. They won't win, but at least I won't be voting for the agenda that continues on and on and on.

Taxes, abortion, euthanasia, and other interesting non-issues keep the same politicians in power over and over and even when the politicians change, they still represent the same agenda.

I just can't see where this is going with either Kaine or Kilgore.

Our "GOP" Congress seems to have enacted nothing of the things that matter to people. Nothing. And the democrats are more the same. Taxes? That changes year to year, need to need.

Call me a one note person - but anyone proposing a nearly 3 fold increase in cigarette taxes - after already accomplishing a 3000% increase deserves nothing less than to be left in the dust.

And it's not really about cigarettes - it's the principle of it - that's an easy one, because most people don't smoke - but it also says to me that someone lese is next.

I have been an excise/sales tax opponent to a certain extent for most of my life and have no intention of changing.
