Never again.
Never again, Good for you!
I didn't hold my nose and vote for the stinking RINOs, I voted for each candidate on their own merit. While I did not vote for any RATs, I did vote for some Libertarians - and to those who will say I threw away my vote on the Libertarians, I say no, I voted for the best candidate. Like it SHOULD be. And I don't feel like a cheap whore after voting either.
If voting straight party line gets us people like Chaffe, DeWine, Graham, Warner, Collins, and McStain, what good is it? I'd rather be in the minority with true conservatives in Congress, than have a RINO paralyzed majority that is spineless and totally useless. When the Republican party decides to return to its ideals, then perhaps it will be time to re-think voting straight party, but not until then.
And there is where our country has gone SO wrong (and why we get what we deserve). What ever happened to voting for "the best man for the job", instead of the "lesser of two evils", or "I am not voting FOR a candidate, I'm voting AGAINST the other"?
When we vote FOR someone we know is not qualified, we are condoning sub-quality candidates. If we all ran our businesses with this type of decision making, the economy would completely dissolve. We should want the best person for the job. Period. As long as we keep voting "party lines", we cannot complain when we get RINO traitors in office- or when the other party takes over government...
