Think how blissful life must be for the insipid dolts who have no
expectations of their elected officials other than they can be selected
simply by voting a straight-party ticket...they're never disappointed,
and
history continues to repeat its mistakes!

I have a primary ballot in front of me now which *requires* me to select a
single party, and then vote *only* for candidates in that party. Ain't
that just ducky?

Rich "marching in lockstep" S.

Just for the record, I can still taste the glue on my absentee ballot
envelope. If we had the "old style" primary, I would have voted for the
candidates whom I considered best qualified to represent me.

With the "new style" of ballot where I had to select a party and then vote
only within that party, I selected the opposition party and voted so as to
give *my* party the most advantageous position in the general election.

This action was taken in a fit of pique that ill becomes me and I regret
that circumstances force my actions. However, it's the best way to apply my
vote to defeat those who I don't feel are qualified to clean public toilets,
much less become Governor. With so many people either refusing to vote, or
deliberately voting contrary to the rules (11% in that case), my vote
becomes even more important.

Think I'll go out in the back yard and empty a few magazines out of my
assault rifle.
