I'm open to any of them right now. Today for the first time I passed over three GOP choices. I live in Tennessee a GOP safe state. I voted Bawldwin, I voted against Lamar Alexander and for an Independent and I voted against Rep Zack Wamp-R in the same manner. {I had supported Zack Wamp for years} Alexander should have never made it in period the first time. If Bush had stayed out of it a Conservative would have won instead of Alexander when Thompson gave up his seat.
Alexander's bailout vote absolutely clinched it for me this election as it did with REP Wamp whom just days earlier promised to do better than that. I only voted GOP on state ballots. This is the worse election cycle I have ever seen.
Someone will be along soon to chide you for voting (in effect) for Zero, but not me. I also voted for Baldwin, in SC, a safe-bet state. Also, for the first time in my life, I did not vote for a Republican for Senate - Pandsy exemplifies my disgust, and I’m sure he gets his lever pulled plenty without a reach-around from me.
I don’t know if my vote will actually ever matter again in big elections, as I will be confining my family to “safe” states, purposely. I recognize that I prayed last night for the impossible, an electorate able to put their country/long-term, above a payday; an educated/un-indoctrinated electorate; a population where the ne’er-do-wells still had a conscious, and knew that they don’t really deserve a say while they are on the teet.
I know that I am foolish.
I will honor the memory of what a group of rabble rousers were able to accomplish 235 years ago, and what millions of men with great courage have sacrificed. As a more eloquent man that I has said, “I declare that this government is no longer a constitutional and moral form of government. I will deal with it, and I will obey its laws, and I will support it when it is defending our country from foreign and domestic enemies. I will vote in its elections and participate in its political debates. But I will never accept it. I aim at a restoration of constitutional and moral order.”
