I didn't leave the Democrat Party, it left me. - Ronald Reagan
So I never thought I'd see the day I was disappointed to see Mitt Romney suspend his campaign. But on Thursday I was. John McCain has all but sown up the Republican nomination. Rush says not to give up hope, a lot can happen in 9 months. The problem is Virginia's primary is in 3 days and I have no one to vote for.
I can't not vote, I jumped all over TigBom for doing that. I have decided that I am free to write in whoever I want. I haven't decided who yet. If you have any suggestions I'm open to them.
The Democratic Nominee appears to be Obama. And he scares me. First up until a few years ago no one knew who he was. He's in the Senate on a fluke - kinda like Jim Webb, Obama didn't win the Republican lost. He has never run anything. He's never been in the executive branch. Never been a Mayor or Govenor.
Second, the few political stands he will take (you know other than change) are in direct conflict with my beliefs. The primary ads he's running in Virginia are really good, they leave you with this warm fuzzy feeling. You know what they leave out? What he stands for.
You see the thing about change for change's sake is that it isn't always for the better. I don't think taking profits from companies is a good thing, what incentive is there for sucess? I don't like one payer healthcare, it hasn't worked anywhere else. Why do you think Fidel Castro went to Spain for his care? I haven't heard where he stands on judicial nominees but I'm willing to take a guess they wouldn't be ones I like. The little I've heard we don't agree on moral issues either.
I have always hated the idea of ovting for the lesser of two evils. I will not cede my right to vote. And I have no intention of voting for John McCain simply because he has an R beside his name. So where does that leave me? Who do I vote for? When I figure it out, I'll let you know. Seriously.

Still think our democratic system works well?
I hope you voted for Ron Paul, the only sensible person who ran for President.
