"Larry Blanchard" wrote in message ... In article , says... Larry Blanchard expounded: The problem is that nobody is as "right" as a religious conservative. After all, God has told him/her what to do. The problem is not all Bush supporters are religious conservatives/fanatics. It's a myth that everyone who voted for Bush is a bible thumping christian. You're right. It's just that they voted more for Bush than just about any other group - with the possible exception of millionaires :-). I get the feeling that most people vote a party ticket with no concern for whoever is on it. It's a shame because neither party is what it used to be. Anybody else remember the old saying "Democrats give us a war, Republicans give us a depression."? It's true. We had to choose the lesser of two blahs. While at the Philadelphia airport last week, I spotted a magazine cover - might've been The Economist. It had a picture of both candidates and the caption "Incoherent or Incompetent?" The weekend after the election, I was out with a bunch of friends. We (both Dems and Repubs) were bemoaning the disaster. One guy went to the bar and came back with 3 pencils and some clean napkins. He said "OK...if your party said 'Send us $1000.00 and we'll guarantee the candidate of your choice is nominated next time around' - write that person's name on your napkins". There were 10 of us. Results: 1 vote for Bush (but the guy who wrote it was intensely drunk) 1 vote for Kerry (but the guy who chose him has no imagination) 1 vote for Reagan's son - what's his name. 1 vote for Rudolph Giuliani. Good choice. 5 votes for Mario Cuomo (Keep in mind, we're all from NY, so we don't mind people who are brutally honest, use big words, and who don't talk down to audiences). Two of Mario's 5 votes came from Republicans. This country is longing for something different. I doubt it'll ever get it. |
