Title: Once again lots to vote against, nothing and no one to vote for.
Post by: Chuck Dye on October 25, 2014, 04:28:05 PM

The vote-by-mail ballot, the P.O. Box, and I finally connected and I have submitted my votes.  All of my votes were against, none for any candidate or proposition.  Several votes for Republican candidates were cast as the only hope of seeing the back of the Democrat, not because I like anything about the Republican.  Even though I may be in greater agreement with one or more third party types, I see voting that way as a wasted vote:  expressing my agreement with a guaranteed loser ranks far below the, admittedly small in Oregon, possibility of voting out the Dems.

How about you folk?  Are any of you finding cause to vote for anyone or anything in other than a hold-your-nose sense?

Okay, I'm cracking up. I just now posted another, similar topic on voting. Great minds think alike. :)

Yeah, both John Cornyn and George P. Bush are on the statewide allot here in Texas.  I had a few people I voted for, but those two are difficult.  The more I know about Cornyn, the less I like him.  The problem is I want to beat them in a primary, not get a Democrat in for 6 years.

Yeah, the choices are . . .

1. Stupid party

2. Evil party

3. Other (counts as half an Evil Party vote.)

I am not happy.
