Great read, Fishtalk. It sure would be nice to see more of this happening across the country. Let us know when they string you up for blasphemy.
Heh.
So I go home and tell my story to my husband. Who is a conservative of the highest order and worse even then me.
"And I actually VOTED for Castle," I told husband. "Didn't you?"
Well go on. I just ASSUMED he voted for Castle but to my everlasting surprise husband replied "No. I voted for Spivek." Spivak was the Dem opponent to Castle and he didn't have a chance in hell of winning.
Husband and I BOTH voted for the write-in candidate who was running for Senator of all things, one Christine O'Donnell who really threw the GOP here in Delaware on its ear. She got 11000 votes, quite a bit for a write-in, 7,000 of those votes came from Sussex county.
I told my husband that I was proud of him, that at least he wasn't a hypocrite like me.
Folks, NEXT time I will NOT vote for Mike Castle and I'm ashamed that I did this past race. I feel like I've betrayed my progeny by voting for a man who would keep them enslaved to Arab oil rather than doing what America does, finding our own way.
Now don't tell me any Republican is better than any Democrat. I'll never believe that again so long as I live. After this past week's experience I'll not trust a politico of ANY party unless he/she votes on legislative matters that I agree with. Hey, I might vote for NOBODY and argue that my husband only voted for Spivak because he knew Spivak wouldn't win. Husband knew that. But my husband knew what Castle did and by golly at least he had more gumption than me, vaunted Sussex county GOP member of the SCRWC who marched lock step with the traitorous Delaware GOP.
And now, well if the SCRWC has any influence, maybe we can a Delaware GOP candidate who represents US....what a concept, huh?
