You’re guilty of exactly what you’re accusing me of. Originally Posted by TinyActually, you were the "accuser" with your ignorant assessment.
But don't be offended by being called "ignorant." At least in my world "ignorance" is curable. Stupidity is not and is usually based on genetics, but can be the result of repetitive banging one's head on a wall.
I'm not a Republican and never have been. I have regularly called myself a Democrat, although in the past 10 to 15 years it has become increasingly more difficult for me, because of the loonatics parading around, burning and stealing other people's shit, referring to themselves as "Democrats"! And now there are Bitten and Kumola who have really tarnished and abused the name.
As for my voting pattern, if I actually personally know the person on the ballot I'm not concerned about their party affiliation, and if I don't know them personally I attempt to determine what their qualities have been and/or are as the case may be. My focus is not "politics," but general actual attitudes toward certain "things" I wish were to be done to improve the lives of most of the people in my community. "Most" because nothing will benefit "EVERYONE." Of course, my perspective of "benefit" may well differ from many others and particularly those who wish to "live off the fat of the land" and not work.
