New Another way of saying
My enemys enemy is my friend? I suppose it's possible, but I still think that people vote against somebody rather than for somebody else. Hillary vs. DeLay would be a toughie for me as I think they're both terrible. It's hard to guess who's worse. I don't really care who else they're pissing off. Hillary vs. McCain would be easier; I only dislike McCain and still think Hillary is despicable. I don't think I've ever voted for a politician. That's sad.

New That IS sad
I guess you're too young to have voted for [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bayard_Anderson|John Anderson] in 1980. He is the reason I'm still a registered Republican(Gasp!)

"Every Repbulican who wants to defend Bush on [the expansion of Presidential powers], should be forced to say, 'I wouldn't hesitate to see President Hillary Rodham Clinton have the same authority'."
&mdash an unidentified letter writer to Newsweek on the expansion of executive powers under the Bush administration

New Not too young.
In that time period, I was too disgusted with national politics to get involved in primary elections. I considered that the party fat cats would get who they wanted whether I put my time in or not. I read up on the selected miscreants, held my nose, and voted for the (hopefully) least vile. Sometimes I voted wrong in retrospect, but my selection usually does not get voted in. My current feeling is that voting is probably a waste of time, but by now it is a hard habit to break. And it's not that much time, and if I vote, I am entitled to bitch later. Not that it does any good.
