Why I Hate The Independents

2 Comments

I read it

Being Independent means I wasn't afraid to vote against Lindsey Graham who I voted FOR all these years -- because his Democratic challenger was actually more conservative this time. It meant I was not afraid to vote Constitution Party against my shenanigan-playing state representative. It meant I wasn't afraid to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries, and consider Libertarian options because they were the best choices - don't lump all independents together as uniformed or gullible -

This is exactly what I am talking about!

A vote for a political party candidate other than a Republican is a vote for the Democrat! With all due respect, the Constitution Pary and the "Losertarian" Party have NO CHANCE of winning ANY political contest. All they do is make it possible for more Democrats to gain office. I don't like Lindsey Graham either, but he still keeps one more "R" in the Senate to make it possible for a Republican majority. The time to vote against him is in the primaries NOT the general electiion. I also like a lot of Ron Paul's ideas, but he also does not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Being a "Paulistinian" is not the way to go either.

Many thanks for reading my post.
