I used to feel like Yorlik, I just couldn’t get why people wouldn’t pick the lesser of two evils in such an imperfect world, especially the political arena.
and then I heard Jim Demint say on Mark Levin, when he was telling his audience why people shouldn’t vote for Mike Castle, why they should stand on principle, even if it was a longshot. He said, “I was there when we had the numbers, but we didn’t have the principles.” and went on to explain why having the principles, even if it means not having the numbers, is important.
I am not exaggerating, that little quote changed my life and thinking in regards to political calculations. And I wrote and told everybody I knew about it, it was 09.14.10. And they have changed, also. And they passed it on, also.
But the important thing is, while I was believing the other - that the numbers and calcs were more important than the principles - no one could talk me out of it. I thought they were naive, or otherworldly, or unrealistic. and then, boing, one day it just took hold in my heart.
I voted for Sarah Palin in the last election, unfortunately that also means I voted for lord McCain. Prior to the '08' election I had said I would never vote for lord McCain after all the .ell he caused during the Bush presidency.
It is as if lord McCain is in a coma during BamBamKennedy's presidency... no resistance whatsoever. He is a snake and I am done with holding my nose in the belief that it would prevent the election of an even bigger snake.
So what I will do depending upon who gets the nomination, is to do what I can to make sure 'tea party' candidates get elected to Congress to pull the plug on all this redistribution of this nation's wealth.
Yes, Rush researchers, the big mouth can go play golf with his 1% liberal friends, the middle class is barely hanging by a thread and the PROUD GOP e is stuck on stupid.
