"I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Republican," he says


I'm working the polls at an elementary school. It's a half-hour before the afternoon rush, when the street lines with cars full of parents picking up their kids

"Can I offer you a list of progressive candidates?" I ask again and again

Almost everybody takes the endorsement list; and many smile and wave later as they leave

One man stops on his way out for a lengthy rant. "I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Republican," he says. "And I only voted for Democrats today"

I sympathize that I used to vote candidate-by-candidate and sometimes used to vote for some Republicans but didn't feel comfortable doing that anymore

He thinks that would be the right way to vote, if he felt he could, but he thinks the Republicans are crazy. He's unhappy today that the Republicans in control of the capitol here eliminated straight-ticket voting

"I'm never voting for a Republican again" he tells me

I thank him for voting. "You should tank people for voting DEMOCRATIC," he replies

Zero bongs.  Public education has destroyed the bouncy.  No bushes. No cop.  What, what I ask you, is the value of having standards if no one follows them?

Not even a decent effort. It's sad, really. Just sad.

This bouncy is awesome.  When Republicans own the night, he will be so confused.

"You should tank people for voting DEMOCRATIC," he replies ....I can agree with that....hot oil in the tank would be even better.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Even my mole would be ashamed of that.  Sad.   :banghead:

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
