I voted for Hughes too. He was an incredibly crappy candidate who didn’t know what the hell he was doing.
But he was running 2nd, a vote for Lowrey who was running third would have been counter productive.
A vote for the rat is extremely counterproductive, I’d sooner put a shotgun in my mouth than vote for that Grecian criminal.
And Lieberman is a piece of crap partial birth abortion supporter who almost got Al Gore elected in Florida, Buckey was a fool for helping Lieberman, you don’t help a democrat anymore than you’d help a Nazi. I’d have smeared dog crap on the ballot and cast it blank before I’d vote for him or Lowell Weicker who makes Kirk look like Jesse Helms.
Conservatives lost both those elections at the filing deadline. If no one viable files (which I would bet won’t happen) against Kirk it will happen again. With attitudes like our defeatist friend that Kirk is “the best we can do”, it’s no wonder a conservative like Roskam wouldn’t want to stick his neck out.
We need reform conservatives in this state to start speaking with one voice. These disorganized efforts are fish in the barrel for the combine, all they have to do is sit back and laugh.
Once the Combine made it clear that no viable opponents were to run in the primary (lest they be Fitzgeralded), it was a fruitless endeavor to get behind any of the desultory candidates. The fix was in from the get-go.
