Thanks for putting me straight on that :-)
Oh they care alright. Every 2 years they care a real, real lot.
I shall try to remember that!
I've seen posters actually threaten physical harm to others who don't want to vote for RINOs.
They weren't around long, but it happened.
When you vote for someone, that means you approve of them. In fact it's the highest form of approval you can give someone.
Do you know why? (rhetorical...I'll answer) It's because people gave their lives to protect your right to vote for the candidate of your choice.
Other Americans left pieces of themselves and lost their very lives both here in America and in far off foreign lands to protect that right for you and for me. It's not some privilege granted by some Government body someplace, it's a right you were given by your Creator.
It's not something to be given away lightly and it sure as Hell isn't something to be given to a Party instead of an individual.
I'm not much on organized religion, but I do believe that God gave me the right to vote. I also believe that with that right comes an awesome responsibility. I will not just hand over the sacred power that comes with my vote to some fool just because of his or her Party affiliation.
It would be a grave insult to both the people who fought and died to protect that right and to the Creator who thinks highly enough of the likes of me to give me that sacred right.
So don't you ever buy into that crap that a vote for a third party is a 'wasted vote'.
The only vote that's wasted is the one that isn't cast.
Sorry to pop off in your general direction.
Merry Christmas.
