I never did that, because the lesser of two evils is still evil. Bow your heads in shame, those who did!

So what do you do -- do you just sit out every election in Massachusetts then?

Must all your candidates be nominees for cannonization before you'll vote for them?

Are you a nominee for cannonization yourself? If not, why not?

And if not, is it not you who should be so ashamed instead of feeling the need to point a finger at everyone else?

If you sat at home and didn't vote because no one was perfect enough for you, or you wrote in someone who was never a contender, just know one thing: your failure to vote, or choice to vote for Don Quixote is the equivalent of voting for whoever won.

And with the possible exception of Scott Brown, you've got a lot of liberal Massachusetts pols to account for that you have by all accounts unwittingly helped to elect.

You and I both likely know of the 50-year old John Birch Society, located in Belmont, MA.

The Birchers of Belmont were right about a lot of things, but too stuck in their own self-righteousness to effect any real change that has done anything substantive or that resembles anything successful leading the political way back to a true conservatism.

Your posture sounds very much like that of a Bircher.

Not at all. I voted for and campaigned for Republicans, whenever the party had someone serious running. I voted for Perot his first time, and campaigned for him. I campaigned on the county level for the most sane choices for sherriff. I got involved in the nomination process with the Republican town committee.

Hardly. I actually didn't mind Bill Weld at first. I've been disillusioned with the Republican Party since Dan Quayle was marginalized. He would've been a very fine President. And I'm thinking Senator DeMint looks pretty good.

There are a lot of RINOs I would like to “cannonize”, but none offhand would I consider “canonizing.” hehe.
