“Time to remember the best voting advice I’ve heard: Voting isn’t marriage; it’s public transport. You are not voting for “the one” who is absolutely perfect. You are getting on the bus. And if there isn’t one going exactly to your destination, you don’t stay home and sulk; instead, you take the one going closest to where you want to be.” I read this yesterday over on Bookworm’s blog. She does a weekly compilation of memes, cartoons, old photos, and things to think about. This is from her latest.
Two American Thinker articles about Dr. Oz, one by Rajan Laad and the other by Lynne Lechter, appearing yesterday as well, made me think.
I am not a Pennsylvanian, so I have no vote in the matter. As an American, though, I care very much about who my fellow countrymen over in the Keystone State send to the Senate. Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz is not my political cup of tea, for all sorts of reasons. Mostly, in the past, he hasn’t expressed views that are as conservative as I prefer.

If I could, though, I would vote for Dr. Oz. He is continuing the refreshing change of Republicans who are not career or dynastic politicians running for office. He’s a first-generation immigrant and a Muslim, proving again that it is the conservatives who have the biggest tent. And he’s not a lawyer. I understand the utility of having people who can read and understand laws participating in the creation of legislation, but 33% of the House and 50% of the Senate—really!
As a cardiothoracic surgeon and professor emeritus of surgery, Dr. Oz is a scientist, and we need more of those who can “follow the science”

It’s MAGA or Deep State this time around.
If it is the choice of a Liz Cheney or Adam Shiff I take Cheney, as odious as she is.
If the choice is Dr. Oz or a stroked-out weirdo, I take Oz.
Closer to home, as awful as it is, if my choice is Beto O’Rourke or John Coryn, I vote for Coryn and I detest the man.
The best democrat is infantry worse than the worst republican.
Get rid of all democrats. Democrats are like termites in your house. The RINOs are like rats. You can catch rats at leisure but you must get rid of EVERY termite or lose your home as fast as you can.
“Not a fan of Dr. Oz?”
Why would anyone with half a brain vote for that brain dead Democrat who is running on a nothing agenda much like Biden did?
In an election between two humans, you choose the one who is better, or less bad. Perfect isn’t on the ballot. The only time I’ll sit it out is in the case of a Soros Republican who somehow gets through the primary process.
If any of the impeachment Repubs were on the ballot in my state I would prefer the Democrat if that’s the cost of getting rid of the Quislings.
That isn’t the case with Oz, at least not yet. I could vote for him with a clear conscience. If after he’s in office he turns out to be a Liz Cheney then we address it two years down the road. But while I suspect he will be a squish, he isn’t a Soros squish.
Really, they did little other than approve Trump’s judges…
********
That’s a really big deal. The Second Amendment is hanging by a thread.
Dang, I said two years. But it’s the senate… six years. He is still the better man in that race.
That's what primaries are for. In the general election, vote for the less-than-perfect Republican candidate. The other option is sending that ogre Frankenstein guy to the Senate and maybe blowing the chance to have a Republican Senate majority.
I certainly think so.
The whole country is hanging by a thread.
A couple more SC judges by Trump could change history.
people are getting very tired of voting for the best of the worst.
Voting isn’t marriage
true, it’s easier to get rid of a wife than an incumbent.
This!!!
We DO NOT want this Fetterman! One scary demoRAT libtard!
That makes the choice a lot easier: Vote for a Republican-controlled Senate.
Sounds like BobL could’ve written this one. :-)
But it’s the same reason I will likely vote for Boobio in the general here in Florida. Some FReepers will say, “YOU’RE A SUCKER!!!” And I will say, “Yes, I would be a sucker if by omission I let the FL Senate Seat be filled with somebody who is perfectly fine with famines, energy shortages and most of us eating bugs.”
Yep. The time for RINO hunting is, for now, in the primaries (a la Liz Cheney).
I’m voting for Oz because Trump thought he had the best chance of winning - and because the Senate is important for so many reasons.
Don’t particularly like Oz.
I do particularly like Trump.
I do particularly want to save America.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Trump arranged this “marriage”.
Nevertheless, I agree with all your points, plus 2 more: 1) Fetterman, like Biden, is another near comatose candidate-—grateful that Dems didn’t pull him out of the race, totally given over to the radical left, and willing to mouth their words and do their bidding...should he win. 2) Whether or not you reside in PA, PA is a critical state come 2024.
What Oz will do for Trump remains to be seen.
The problem with McCain and some other RINOs was not that they weren’t Republicans in general, but that they voted with Dems on hot-button issues like amnesty. That’s what infuriated people.
Yes, exactly.
Fetterman strikes me as being like Karl Marx himself: a degenerate slob who wants to impose malignant ideas on the world.
LOL; point taken...and my first thought.
Agree 💯
I suspect if Fetterman wins, he will resign and let Wolfe appoint a Senator.
