I really don't know what that's supposed to mean. It's obvious that many Republicans are not happy with Republican politicians. We don't want pandering, we don't want hem hawing, we don't want doubletalk, we don't want more government, we don't want more spending, we don't want loose borders, we don't want deals to appease the Dems. We need someone with fortitude and a big pair.
Well, you're not going to GET legislators like that, by REWARDING them with re-election for how they are behaving now. I've been faithful about voting in every election for decades now, but I think I'm going to sit this election out.
Let's get something straight, just to clear the air. I _DO NOT_ vote for Democrats. Once I did (years ago), but never, never, never, NEVER again. Got that?
But I want to _PUNISH_ the Republicans in this election. I actually believe they should LOSE.
Why the heck would I want that?
Answer: because they DESERVE to lose this time.
They richly deserve exactly that. If they are not punished now, they will keep repeating their current behavior forever, moving ever-more to the left.
If they lose in 2006, they may possibly (though I'm not optimistic) come 'round to their senses for 2008.
If that is the case, they may then be able to re-earn my vote in 2 more years.
But to continue to reward them for the mess they've made of majority rule? Absolutely not.
As I said, flame me if you wish, but this is one guy who has had enough.
