I can say without an iota of hesitation or regret that I will cast a ballot for a Democrat for only the third time in my 26 years of voting. The only Democrats I ever voted for were Ann Richards for governor on TX against that quack Clayton Williams and for Lloyd Bentsen for Senator from TX.
Due to my total disgust with the way the Federal and the state governments have conducted themselves and how they have failed to act in the interest of this country, I will proudly vote a straight Democrat ticket this year and as a vow to myself, for the next 20 years.
The only exception to this is that I will vote for Kinky for governor because he is the only one I don't view with contempt over their past actions.
Now if only 30,000,000 others out there who are fed up with the corruption, the inaction on border security, the mess in Iraq, the immigration issue, the ever worsening health care fiasco in this country, the incredible spending binge undertaken by Bush and Congress, the Internet gambling ban and the contemptible and disrespectful way in which the GOP views the American public (except for those writing them big checks and paying for all their luxurious lifestyles) will do the same thing, we can start the revolution that will begin to turn this sinking ship around.
It the Primary, you vote for people.
In the General Election you vote against people.
So, you have to ask yourself... Of these two choices, which one is worse? Once you have determined that, hold you nose and vote for the other guy.
Thus endeth the lesson.
What a crock of BS!
IBTZ----Thank you for playing.
It's not a matter of "touching" bozo.
Gridlock - thx for your reasoned response. Shame that mkjessup continues to make an ass of himself on the forum.
Polliwag, did you ever stop and think about why KimilSung, Hugo Chavez, Castro, Iranian Ayatollahs, Ahmadinejad, and the rest of the hate America crowd support democrats?
It's the VALUES. The Democrats want: less action against terrorists, more taxes, more abortions, to pretend homosexuality is normal, more illegal immigration...The list goes on. If those are your values then you're definitely Democrat material.
I guess you kill your young babies in the womb as well. You a baby killer!
Too bad, we may have been able to save her. Oh well, it takes all kinds.
Voting for the Democrats to solve those problems is absurd.
Corruption: Historically, the Democrats have a much stronger track record at being politically corrupt. From Louisiana politics to the Arkansas mafia, from Tammany Hall to Daleytown, the Democrats are the party of corruption.
Iraq: The Democrats' "plan" to cut-and-run is not a plan, it's fleeing a battlefield that we have already won.
Immigration: The Democrats would open the doors wider, not close them.
Health care: The Democrats "solution" would be to introduce a failed British/Canadian NHS, which is quite expensive and produces worse results than our current mess.
Spendthrift Congress: the Democrats have a far worse record on tax-and-spend than the Republicans. Virtually all of the huge entitlements, Social Security, Medicare, are creations of the Democrats.
How come these damn trolls do not know how to spell? Oh, I know......product of public edumacation
The only Democrats I ever voted for were WAS Lyndon Baines JohnsonAnn Richards for governor President in 1964
AND I ATTRIBUTE THAT LAPSE IN JUDGMENT TO MY (A) BEING YOUNG, DUMB, INEXPERIENCED IN THE WAYS OF POLITICS (B) COMING FROM A FAMILY OF DHIMORATS, AND (C) BEING A MEMBER OF THE USAF WHO NATURALLY, WOULD VOTE FOR THEIR COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
"NOT SINCE, AND NEVER (UNLESS I FIND ANOTHER ZELL MILLER) AGAIN"
Dear PW,
Aside from the rest of your screed, the fact that you're going to vote for Kinky says it all. Dunce.
I don't like feces on the table where I eat. If you want to debate this crap, it overuns on DU. Be sure to clean your computer off afterwards... if you go there!
