That’s not just your way. It’s mine too

Bill on how he votes. I’m the same way. I voted against every incumbent on the ballot. If they were unopposed, I didn’t vote. And I voted not to retain a single judge.

If you want to vote the bums out, you need to start with your own bums.

    Pretty much my pattern also, but I didn’t see a lot of seats changing.

    What other incumbents besides Curry Todd lost their re-election bid?

    The bottom line in an impossible approach is tomahawks and scalpin’ knives. Guns are just for catchin’ ’em.

    As Sinead O’Connor and teh Chieftans put it:

    As a corollary, if you ever see a referendum named after a person, such as “John’s Law” or “Suzie’s Law,” it’s probably safe to go ahead and check that No box

    You know, Uncle, in this mess I really don’t know where I stand. Irish vs. English vs. Northern Irish vs. Ireland – it’s a mess. I do wish that our most civilized of peoples clean it up, and, in fact, they do owe that to us – to the rest of the world, to make amends and settle old scores, for the rest of us, so that the world might have a chance to live in peace. But the Irish? No. Too bad they are to do that, for humanity, or maybe not. Time will tell. The question, as it has been for a long time, has ever remained the same, “Who are the Irish?”.

  5. Chas Says:

    Of course the question will come about, who am I? American – with an interest in the peace. As do we all. Who wants his children to grow up dead? That’s a grim prospect. Perhaps I read too much literature. There’s some recent stuff on the Spanish Civil War:

    If you don’t know the judges on the ballot then why not? Is your time to precious to be a voter? The only judicial detentions I abstain from voting on are in areas of the state where I don’t live. But still, I vote to retain. TN has conservative judges and if everyone of them were voted out we would have anarchy. It’s the cutting your nose off to spite your face.

    I always vote against retaining state judges. The constitution is clear, they have to stand for election. Neither party’s politicians want the voters to have that kind of power.

    Vote the bums out and let some new, more energetic bums in, eh? It may be emotionally satisfying but as a policy I fail to see the good it does.

    Once you get someone who’s really good (theoretically speaking), and he’s term-limited out, I fail to see the benefit to that also unless there’s someone at least as good to take his place.

    It seems to me the proper litmus test would be principles. Anything else, like time already spent in office, would be a very distant second priority. If principles, specifically the American Principles of Liberty, are not on the ballot then I see little point in voting. It’s a bit like choosing how you want to be raped, or by whom— I’d rather not participate in my own rape thus giving the rapist a “mandate”.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
