Pardon me, but how does apathy apply when my state hasn't even had it R caucus yet? When many of us said McCain was unacceptable, we were told to work for our preferred candidates. Being responsible adults, we did so to the greatest extent possible while still supporting our families, working, etc.
Now I have no voice and it's my fault?
Sorry, but I do not suffer from that particular delusion. It doesn't matter how we got here really, until the time comes to change the system. But now that we are here, I predict it will be a tiresome nine months for anyone willing to stand firm on their principles and not support someone who has by word and deed shown themselves opposed to so many of those principles.
And that applies equally to dem and pubbie alike, IMO.
I feel your pain. I have Feingold, Kohl and Baldwin as my Senators. I have a ‘Rat Governor, Lt. Governor, etc.
The only true R’s in my state are a few Assembly members and our waffling AG.
However, I DO blame those that went before me and got us into this mess through their apathy. This USED to be a very Conservative state, and while most of it still is, the large metro areas are completely controlled by the socialists, which translates to votes when needed.
I’ve been fighting The Good Fight since I was 18, and I can’t do it ALL by myself. ;)
Hear, hear!

Amen! I’m a Virginian. I haven’t even gotten a chance to voice my opinion, and now I have the “choice” (spit) to vote for McCain or Goober (well, there’s always Ron Paul) in the primary.
The “system” we have has got to be fixed.
The Dems at least have the illusion of a choice when they vote this Tuesday.
