3. I've been a Democrat since the first time I cast a vote in 1972.
And I never voted for a Republican until 2004 in a County Commissioner race. And that was for revenge. We'd worked for over a year, studying the problems with electronic voting machines, and we were trying to get our findings on the agenda for the commission meetings. The Chairman, the only Democrat on the commission kept blocking us. We finally got in during the public comments time at the end. Fifteen speakers allowed 2 minutes each, so we split up our presentation among 15 people. After it was over we were approached by a Republican who said it was very interesting, and we should get it on the agenda. We told her to tell her buddy, the Chairman, to let us on. He still wouldn't.

He lost the election by a very small margin.

I'm getting very fed up with our leaders also. I'll never vote for another Repuke again. But, I may not vote for a Democrat either.
