Yes, but my desire to get my butt out to vote is greatly diminished. I will continue to vote Republican, if I make it to the polls. In Virginia both Democrats and Republicans are raising taxes. It is just that the Republicans are on a slower pace to socialism than the Democrats. ...demoralizing!
Well, there are other options. I'm not enthusiastically for them, but if your options are a tax-raising traitor Rat and a tax-raising traitor Pubbie, say, you're choosing between a Chaffee and a Whitehouse, it's still better to vote. I'm usually just as torn as you as to whether it's better to vote GOP and waste your vote or vote third party and waste your vote. When I think of how choosing the lesser of two evils has turned out in recent elections, it makes the call even closer. But I'd still vote.
