Rick Wagner's editorial, in the Sep 30 issue of the Grand Junction Sentinel in Colorado, is typical of those who blindly support the shrinking republican party. I have heard it often whenever the issue of voting comes up. The former party of small government, former because they don't even talk the talk anymore, chases all voices of reason away and then denounces those who vote for other party candidates.
It is all our fault, they say, for voting for the good man instead of the party chosen ones. Never mind that the actions of the republicans are the real cause for so much voter anger and disgust. I seem to remember that it was a contract made with America, to reduce the size and power of the federal government, that swept the Republicans into power to begin with not so many years ago. And what did the republicans do once they attained power? They became big government democrats and turned their leader over to the lions.
Now they are scared silly as they see the majority of people leaving and voting for other party candidates. And instead of looking in the mirror at their own misdeeds and stupidity, they cast blame and try to scare us with this mindless drivel about how we are "wasting our vote" or "causing Clinton to be elected" when we vote 3rd parties. No Rick, YOU and YOUR PARTY are to blame for both Clinton AND Obama.
You tore up the contract made with us that got you power. You started a war on drugs/rights that has resulted in mass gang activity and violence. Not to mention the countless lives destroyed by the police state, created to combat God's plants for the sake of corporate profits. We read your lips, and still got taxed higher.
Your vote for the lesser of two evils is to blame. Talk about wasting your vote...
