It never ceases to amaze me, that with all the ducation people purport to have, that they can lose all common sense and what few other brains they possess as election time draws closer.
Case in point: I go to the online version of my area's newspaper today and in the op-ed section there is a letter stating that a vote for Dems is a vote for abortion. As a follow up, in the online forum, some lady writes about the ignorance of the original letter writer. I couldn't resist---I had to respond, and my response was that ignorance abounds in both parties, but that the original writer had some points and all anyone had to do to find that out was to look at the voting records on both sides onthat issue. Golly-gee, Paw, I think that when brains was being handed out, these people thought it was trains and wanted to be on the slowest one possible. Where's my moonshine for my vote?
Which brings up another point---why in this day and age do we still have people who vote straight party ticket for either side? With all the access to news and reports and viewpoints from around the world, why would anyone NOT look at all sides of an issue or candidate and vote accordingly? Straight party voting is great if you are buying the votes of the constituents---I'll give ya a pint of 'shine if';n ya vote for me and all ya gotta do is push the lever for the top block on the paper.........PUH-LEEZE.
I've already decided that after this election, I'm going in to the county clerk's office and changing my registration----I registered Republican in this Democratic state as a protest against the forces that be---as well as the original clerk who actually had the gall to ask me if I wasn't going to register Democrat. I will now be putting my money----and my vote----where my mouth is and register as the independent I am. Apparently that is the only way things are going to change--is if people do and act accordingly.
Yeah Paw ya taught me right.
