The only time that I have ever been able to vote for someone for president in the general election was Ronald Reagan. The rest of the time I have voted against the Democrats. Other than Reagan the only time that I got to vote for someone was in the primaries so I hate to see the primaries get to the same place that the general election is where we only get to vote against somebody.

But you have a good point and I'll just have to keep that in mind come primary time.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I wish I could vote FOR a really good candidate instead of against a really bad one.

I could muster up some enthusiasm for Hunter if he could just start making good headway against the RINOs. He's a solid conservative and a good moral man who I could vote for with no qualms. But he's no Reagan, and it was Reagan's personality more than his policies that made him a winner in '84 in every state except Mondales's home state of MN.

But he's no Reagan personalitywise, and it was Reagan's personality as much or more than his policies that made him a winner in '84 in every state except Mondales's home state of MN.

It's a cryin shame that so many people vote based on personality to fill the most important public office in the world, but that's the way it is.
