Staying Home
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
I'm one of the conservatives completely disgusted with the GOP (and the donks, but I don't expect much from them) on Shamnesty.
And I'm not going to stay home and not vote. I might be voting AGAINST the D's and not FOR the R's but I'll vote. I always vote. I have missed one local election (out of the country, forgot to mail my absentee ballot) in 20+ years of voting.
What I won't do is give them any money. Nothing at the national level. And I won't give a local candidate any dough until I find out their voting record.
The only time I think I'd get vapor lock would be a Obama/McCain or Clinton/McCain ticket. I don't like or trust McCain (nor the others) but if we had Clinton or Obama in office then the national grievance industry (NOW, $harpton, etc) would have to shut the heck up for the next hundred years, so 4 years of Carter-redux might be worth it.
We're a big, rich, strong, proud country - no one (or dozen) bad decisions is gonna break us. And if the bad decisions (closing Gitmo, allowing illegals into the country, etc) cause a disaster, well, then, we can recover. Life is long, our country has a long and bright future - some setbacks, while deplorable, are inevitable.
So, while being Dutoitian mad, I remain hopeful overall.

I think it is particularly ironic that the GOOGLE ad attached to this post was for donations for McCain. I am constantly amused by the Boot Brush (brand not specified) under the title of the blog, but this almost made me clean coffee off my monitor!

Funny indeed!
Do you ever click on ads on blogs? I never do, have been training myself not to see them.
Bad of me, I know. Must support the Google zombies....
