I don’t like supporting the party, but it seems unavoidable. If you give to an individual candidate, you get on their lists, and hounded to death. If you go to a caucus or something to support a candidate, you’re swept into the party, and hounded for money.
It’s the same with the Democrats, of course. I supported an individual Democrat for mayor years ago and they have finally gotten the message that I don’t want mailings from left leaning groups. Or maybe it’s because I moved.
Neither of them seems to understand the concept of supporting an individual without supporting their stupid parties.
I have this handy paper shredder in my home office-—I run all this crappe through it without ever opening it.
