Someone commented that they didn't know if they could get past all the stench to vote for Roberts this time. I replied: "It never hurts to follow your convictions." To which one FReeper replied (and I'll leave out the personal comment he/she made about me):

Even if it destroys the health care system and ushers in Obamacare? Or results in the courts being packed with radical leftist judges for decades?

MY REPLY: Uh..... I believe the health care system has already been destroyed and I don't know where you've been but Obamacare has ALREADY been ushered in. The Courts? Well, the GOP doesn't have a great track record on that either. Even my hero Ronald Reagan gave us that witch Sandra Day O'Connor. Herbert W. Bush gave us the ultra-liberal David Souter and George W. gave us the Chief Justice Roberts who with one stroke of his pen upheld Obamacare when it was going down in flames. He said: "Hold on; it is a tax. It's o.k." and Obamacare was ushered in.

I don't know how old you are, but, I became interested in politics and elections in 1952 when Ike defeated Stevenson for the first time. I was a little tyke. I've been active in politics practically all my life. I've finally learned that even if it's "our" guys who hate us because we're Conservative and vow to "crush" us wherever they find us... If you can't vote for them, you can't vote for them, or their buddies in their "Good Ol' Boys Club" who supports them in their politically nefarious deeds. And yes, to some people, their convictions are important. To the GOP lemmings and political whores...... not so much.

“Even my hero Ronald Reagan gave us that witch Sandra Day O’Connor.”

Reagan would be considered a RINO today. Instituted gun control laws as governor, amnesty as President, and the O’Connor thing. (I imagine there are many more examples)
