I had the same thought when I heard the Johnson spot on the radio. There aren't too many places outside the Northeast that this would that happen! You have the candidates trying to out-RAT each other. Pragmatism works up to a point, but at some point convictions will take over.

That said, I haven't made my mind up yet. While there is virtually no difference between the candidates in most of the races and I disagree with them on many issues, I may end up holding my nose AGAIN and vote for the R(inos) if for no other reason than to keep the democRATs from gaining control. Especially when it comes to the control effecting the national picture.

I don't know why I even bothered to write this crap, since I have pretty much given up hope of restoring the Constitution in my lifetime. I've kind of settled into a reactionary posture, if that's the correct terminology.

Thank you for writing it. It's a sentiment shared by many of us here. I've pretty much given up on New England as far as politics go. The voter pool has been diluted by enough liberals with money, fleeing the metropolitan areas, thus infecting the electorate, that I'm not sure a Conservative will ever have a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting elected here or anywhere else in New England. That combined with the democRAT dominated cities going straight down the $hitter and the directly related increase in the "Gimme, gimme" electorate that comes with it, all but guarantees RAT control for the foreseeable future.

If not for deep family ties over the past few centuries, I'd have pulled up the anchor years ago. So I'm stuck and I'll try to do my best with what we have to work with. Sometimes the "He/She's marginally better than the alternative" is all we can, and will ever be able to, hope for. Such is life in the Constitution Constipation State.

Well said, "live from Connecticut"! ;)

(our choices in "fly-over country" are not so difficult, I expect...or at least, not in the same way...although believe or not, I'll have to hold my nose to vote for "our Republican House candidate"...he's awful, but "Dennis!" is worse!! Some stalwart ought to move here and run, *please*!!)
