I'll have to take a good hard look at all the candidates who are running.
Like I always do.
Dr. Alan Keyes earned my vote in the 2000 Michigan primary.
He's certainly worthy of consideration should he decide to run again.
Of course, I could still write-in PJB's name if I wanted to.
Had to do that anyway in the 2000 Michigan general election when Dubya's Michigan campaign co-chair Candice Miller abused her authority as Secretary of State and denied Michigan voters the opportunity to select the duly nominated Reform Party candidate.
Or I could also write-in the name of any other American who has earned my respect, such as Tom Monaghan.
It's my vote, and I'll cast it for whomever I please.
But I'll never waste it on the lesser of two evils just because the Republicrats seek to deprive me of a choice.
As if I'm gonna listen to the voice of kompromise from Kalifornia.
You dimbulbs don't have the common sense to build your own power
plants -- too busy trying to suck cheap electricity from other states.
Sweat it out in the darkness, Jimer. I ain't listening to you.
I bet this will not sit well with the bush-bots.
Well thanks...
But it was the 25+ years of loyalty given to the GOP being rewarded with continual compromise and betrayal that did it for me...
I find that I now sleep much easier at night with my current perspective.
No more getting my hopes up for someone I know is not going to perform.
When someone in the GOP decides they want to represent my views, I'll be quite happy to vote for them.
But never again simply because they happen to have an (R) beside their name.
I'm done with the blind loyalty routine.
