Voting advice for those who will listen

There are some pretty big elections coming up in Virginia and Jersey, plus next year.

Vote the incumbents out of office, it doesn't matter which party they belong too!
The people in office these days are only looking out for number 1 or the world.
Very few if any look out for whats in the best interest of the country.
This goes for all politicians and judges as well.

Keep in mind if you vote for a so called moderate democrat you are voting for the democrat party and all the radical ideas that come with it.
All you have to do is look what happened in Colorado and other swing states.

Lastly how is that hope and change working for you.
Unemployment in Detroit is around 20% and approaching 10% across the country.
I remember the days when it was only 5% and the news media claimed that we were in the worst recession since the great depression.
Drink some coffee and wake up America!
I would like the country salvaged if at all possible.

Thanks for reading!

 

One more thing, the worst thing anyone could do is to vote for a party to teach the other party a lesson and send a message.
Most likely the losing party isn't smart enough to figure this out and if they are they don't care.
Also this is where we stand today, this country is in much worse shape today than in anytime in recent history!
What a disaster!

 

EVIL-CREEP​

(Choosing to be Ruled by a Lesser Evil)​

​

Half-measures avail us nothing but disappointment and suffering in the end. Philosophically, when faced with two evils it is probably best to choose neither. When faced with two good things, if possible choose both.

Human nature being what it is, a winning candidate for office will not consider himself an elected lesser evil; instead, he will conduct himself as though those who elected him support his agenda, however unlawful it might be.

Regardless of the possibility of gaining some temporary advantage for myself, I cannot violate my own conscience by encouraging those who are intellectually dishonest or downright wicked.

The lesser-of-evils vote has resulted in the two major parties becoming virtually indistinguishable in their actions - they are in fact near-identical factions seeking control of an enormous economic turf. Once they are in office, they sleep with the enemy by routinely engaging in what is referred to euphemistically as "bipartisanship"

The lesser evil is still evil.

Consider the cumulative effect of choosing the lesser evil for half a century and a dozen presidential elections. In the very early days of car making, when automobiles were fabricated and assembled by hand, there was a problem called error-creep. As the machine was assembled, the fabricate-'em-as-you-assemble-'em method never quite resulted in parts that fit uniformly, so, they had to be modified. The modifying continued until there was an increasingly serious misalignment of modified parts that had to be laboriously dealt with in order to complete the assembly.

Like the semi-cobbled cars with their awful error creep, American regimes du jour, and the factions that they serve, suffer from evil-creep. So severe is evil-creep today, that it has all but nullified the Bill of Rights . . . unpardonably alienating certain unalienable rights. The consequences of evil-creep have become so dreadfully un-American, that it is unlikely that anything less than a Philosophical Renaissance or a bloody revolution can restore America to it's former philosophical righteousness.

For me to vote for what I know to be merely a lesser evil is an insult to my common sense, and my hard-earned critical thinking skill as well. Faced with such a dilemma, I'm convinced that it is simply best not to vote. Perhaps someday None Of The Above will appear on every ballot, thereby making it possible for one who is politically disenchanted to vote his conscience.

I always do this. doesn't matter who is the incumbent.

 

Here is my pecking order.

1) Vote against the incumbant if he is running for a 4th term or greater.
2) Vote for the Libertarian
3) Vote for a conservative independent
4) Vote for a conservative Republican
5) Vote for a conservative Democrat
6) Vote for a socially conservative fiscally moderate cnadidate
7) If none of those exist don't vote

 

I like the 4 term limit thing, Supa. I'm gonna think about that one a bit.

I like people in governement who aren't amateurs, but too much of a good thing is, well, you know....

Maybe an amateur every 4 terms is not really so bad...

 

here is my pecking order for reps:

1) Vote for the incumbant. (I want my reps to have more experience and seniority than other state's reps, so we get a bigger piece of the pie)
2) Vote for the more wealthy candidate. (Less incentive to steal from public coffers, and being from a wealthy family/or self-made they are probably gentically superior/more capable and will have a greater probability of securing my state a heaping serving of pie)

 

Not only that but some should have learned from the last election.
You have to wonder how many people have been at tea parties and town halls and have protested that didn't vote.
All not voting does is help the chances of the other side to win.
A lot of people have not voted this time and have found out that their very lives can be turned upside down from cap and trade to healthcare, you are helping the other side push their agenda.
A lot of people don't agree with what is going on in their country today and its their own fault because they didn't vote or wanted to teach the Republicans a lesson.
So all that has happened is that they are being taught one instead, if they are smart enough to realize it!
