I just think it's important to consider each person as an individual. I trust neither party to do anything right. Trusting a party is a fool's errand in my opinion. If I still lived in La., I would have voted rather begrudgingly for a Democrat today. Why? Because the Republican running against him is scum. Does this Republican publicly support most of the ideals I hold dear? Sure. But in his personal life, he embodies none of the qualities that the people deserved to have in a leader. I'm speaking of Senator David Vitter. I don't politically agree with Charlie Melancon (his Democratic opponent), but he is a better man than Vitter is.
I consider 2 things when I vote. First I consider the person and their personal qualities. Second, I consider whether or not this person will read the dad gum Constitution and follow it. Sadly, I often must vote for the lesser of 2 evils. This is what the evils of the party system have delivered to us.
Here in my district, there was little difficulty in voting Constitutionalist. I abstained from one vote. I would not give that person my vote because I do not think they deserve my vote. The candidate was unopposed, therefore I had no lesser evil to cast my ballot toward. Would it not have been for this candidate's moral turpitude, I could have cast a straight ticket this time. Just because a candidate is a member of the party which is now offering the more Constitutionalist view (and has for some time now), does not make that candidate a good person, nor does it make them a Constitutionalist. It darn sure does not make them worthy of my vote. My vote is but one of millions, but it is mine, secured to me by the sacrifices of countless men and women before me. My vote is precious and I will not cast it with a person, regardless of party, who is a turd.
Before anyone votes a party ticket, they should consider that Michael Bloomberg won his first election as a Republican. He is as Anti-Constitutionalist as they come.
