Welcome to the club.
This will be the first time I have not voted in a national election since 1964 and with the exception of voting for Lyndon Johsnon (okay, I was young, dumb and in the Air Force) I have voted for Republicans every single time--though I consider myself a Conservative Patriot and NOT a Pubbie.
McLame lost all of the respect I had for him as a POW when he and his good bud John "The Snake" Kerry, buried the POW/MIA evidence during the hearings and mistreated the witnesses (mostly family members) in order to help push for normalization with that Godless, Communist, Vietnam.
And don't even get me started about how he maligned and impugned the Swift Boat Vets as well as all the rest of us Nam Vets because I'll have to take another blood pressure pill or have a couple of shots of VO.
CVV--this was my tipping point as well, as we have previously discussed. The intervening 16 years have not changed my mind. There has only been more fuel to add to my fire.
The GOP needs a new horse by September. If they don't scratch McLoon, we need to get as many Republicans elected to Congress as possible.
I don't even trust the GOP and the RNC to see the simple logic there.
