“Not Rat” IS sufficient reason to vote Pubbie, so long as it’s not a straw man — the Demagogic Party has been caught recruiting and financing campaigns by political newcomers who run under the Republican label. Straw candidates should not survive the primary campaign, in the figurative sense of course, and once they’ve been exposed as frauds, should be prosecuted on civil as well as criminal charges as a lesson to anyone tempted to try this crap in the future. Ultimately, if our support of Voter ID and other clean election measures proves insufficient, it means we will have to fight for our lives against the Party of the Single Party State. Anyone who gives them a pass, pretending that it’s all about how there is a “uniparty” is just a CINO, LINO, FINO, and TPINO.
Or under a third party label, as exemplified by the "Libertarian" who played spoiler in last November's Virginia gubernatorial election!!
