We don't have much of a choice. We hate having Arnold as our candidate out here, but the alternative to him is so bad, we will be holding our noses and going to the polls to make sure that we get the lesser of two evils. Me? I'm considering a move to Colorado.

Dog, I'd invite you to Ohio, but we seem to be following the same path as California. We had primaries here, where we could have dumped Mike DeWine and replaced him with an actual conservative. Imagine our shock when 77% of Republican voters pulled the lever to support his re-election bid. That is a lot of Republicans committing random acts of blindness.

It is enough to shake your faith that people have any long-term memory capacity at all. Forgive my saying so, but it may take even more damage to the country before we collectively decide that "Free Stuff" isn't worth the price.

Why not?

 I completely agree with Jim Robinson, the alternative is unthinkable.

Well, there is the Republican party with some conservative members and some not so conservative and then there's the evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat Party. I'd rather have a conservative Republican in office, but I'll take a not so conservative Republican over any evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat any day of the week. And I might express my unhappiness with some of his policies but I think I've learned my lesson about irreversibly trashing the Republican office holder or the Republican base or the party itself (at least not too much trashing). As they say, the alternative is unthinkable.
