Oh, I'm going to vote, alright. You bet your sweet bippy, I will, and so will my wife.
There are quite a few statewide races that I will crawl over broken glass to register my vote. My choices for U.S. Senate are crap, though. I don't want to willingly give the despicable John Cornyn my precious vote. I think there's a third party guy on the ballot who might get it.
I understand the prevailing thought about what a GOP dominated Senate (and House) will mean for the next two years, but Lucy has pulled that football away from me at the last minute so many times, that I'm mistrustful about what the reigning old bulls will do with their majority. I can just see them failing to do the most basic things to stop Obama's radical agenda, and it hurts me to my soul.
I'm losing faith in the process, Nan. We keep being sold out, but being told that we MUST give them our votes, "or else!"
I understand your frustration Cowboy, but I’ve lived long enough to still believe in the long haul. We are gaining on changing things. Tonight we elected 9 more House members and hopefully some of them will be good conservatives. The old bulls are just that, old. They will now have to do battle with more younger conservatives. We have the Senate now and you can depend on Ted Cruz to keep things stirred up.
At the local levels conservatives are winning more seats in more states than ever. Things are turning. We gained a lot of new R Governors. My state actually elected a Republican woman as Senator to replace Rockefeller. First Repub. Senator and first woman Senator for WV. That’s progress. Mia Love won her race for Congress. Progress. I’ll keep voting for the bad apples if it means in the long run we get the whole barrel.
I hope you are feeling better about things after today.. God bless your heart and give you peace.
Big Hug
