When I first read Heinlen's quote about voting a negative, I thought it was smart, but a secondary reason for voting.
But listening to your argument, I'm being to see how it should be preached as the primary purpose of voting! Teach it to new voters! Great education about what the Founders worried about — protecting the Republic from infection and the growth of hard-to-destroy viruses that in due time would surely kill the free Republic.
Glad to hear you consider my guy Trump to be a positive enough force to reelect as your primary reason for pulling the lever!
But let me add one counterpoint that may be significant. A lot people believe that Trump would not have gotten elected had Romney beat Obama in 2012. If true, it's an exception because Trump was worth waiting for, though we didn't know it at the time!
Love to see some discussion on this topic. What say ye: Lurker, Liz, HL27, V K Lee?
Interesting point. Reinforces what I've frequently posted......."man proposes, God disposes."
FIRST DISCUSSION!!!
RAT ROMNEY has never been nor will EVER be anything but WILLARD THE RAT...he is as detestable as Hillary Clinton could ever think of being...
That RAT is beyond evil and it idiots he associates with are just as bad...just look at what he is doing to the other RAT who Hatch could keep control of while he was there, turning into to...Mike Lee is no more Conservative that fly to the moon and NEVER HAS BEEN!!! ONE BIG FAT RINO!!!
Now for the Second Issue:
Research the person, where he was born, to whom he was born to, where he lived, his parents, his schooling, when did he enter politics, what are his beliefs, what about his voting record, all that stuff plays a part in who you are about to send either to govern your city, county, state or Country...and you best not make a mistake like Utah has done with Mike Lee and Willard Rat Romney...this is how RINOs are made, you can fool the people some of the time, but you cannot fool the people all of the time...and Arizona just learned that lesson very well also with ‘what's his name’ and the biggest FLAKE in the world (other than what we have in Utah)...
The weight of politics has become too heavy. There is not a day that goes by where we can avoid ANYTHING having to do with our government. Government, itself, should have the role of a stage producer. In the background, the glue that enables the total unity to adhere as one. Our government has failed in that concept. Rather than a stage hand, they have morphed into the STAR of the show. If we don’t pay attention, we will be swept into unknown territory, ruled by tyrants which were voted into office only because of our inattention. Needless to say, McCain and Romney votes cast was only due to the fact the alternative would have been the harlot.
Due to the changing of the primary calendar, the campaign is now never ending and even more of a weight. Does it ever stop? A nation should never need to have constant debate in the choosing of leadership. The electorate tires and possibly becomes bored in their attempt to keep abreast.
YES, POTUS-VSG DJT was the first vote actually cast for a man who was decidedly given this vote. He was the one voted for; not necessarily due to the fact there was an opponent to vote against.
Thankful that at least one vote was used in a positive manner, rather than voting against my entire life.
Trump;s 2020 campaign teaser video:

One vote = positive/negative.
Just coincidence, but to hear the elites discuss this particular subject, try you tube and ABC on the night of the election. These fat heads seemed to have their own opinion as to how and why. For a fast, effective high at a cheap price, hopefully, these video clips will stay up for viewing in the years to come. No tears here, but certainly no high fives and joyous celebration. The outcome? ‘Illary lost, again!
