The latest move by the Congressional Republican leadership
has gone and done it for me.
The other day Sen. McCain (R-AZ) said that the R-people would
be “united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were
president, would put up”.* The next day, the R from Texas, Ted Cruz, said the
same.
So, it looks like for the next four years, at least, it’s goin’
be more of the same old obstructionism the Rs dealt Pres. Obama for the last
eight years.
Well, okie-dokie, then.
If that’s how the Rs see it, then I guess I’m goin’ have to
do something I’ve never done before - vote straight-party Democrat. Why risk keepin' any Rs in office if they see bein' a massive pothole obstruction as Job #1 and actually tryin' to get something constructive done as Job #0.
Yes, sir.
On 9 Sept. the U.S. Supreme Court “OKed” straight-party
voting in Michigan for this November election
by rejecting Michigan Attorney General Schuette’s request for a stay of a
preliminary injunction issued against a recent Michigan law banning straight-party voting.
The decision was rendered by a one-justice-short Supreme Court, with a 6 to 2
vote.
I have never selected straight-party voting. I’ve instead
chosen to consider each office contest individually because I’ve always considered
myself to be an Independent — neither Republican nor Democrat.
However, as of yesterday, this election is now different.
The game has changed, so to speak.
Uh oh… I just remembered… I did plan to vote for one or local
R guys. Still, both are running uncontested, so they don’t need my vote. Whew!
Maybe I can still try that straight-party-voting-thing after all.
Anyway, John Fogerty had it right, there's a Bad Moon Rising...
