I'm getting away from work, Memphis, politics, and The Pesky Fly, who is not voting in the Senate race between Harold Ford Jr. and Bob Corker, but critizes me for supporting Green Party Candidate Chris Lugo because he isn't clean shaven and cannot win. Since Pesky criticizes those of us who have tried to offer voters a choice, or who support real "progressive" candidates who share our positions and ideology but cannot win, I propose that we abandon any pretense of electoral democracy and do away with the two-part system. If the only way to "win" is to run as a conservative Republican in Tennessee, why even have a Democratic Party or run Democratic candidates? We should run a candidate who has a chance of winning, so why not run a candidate with a platform that includes reinstating the sodomy law and establishes Christianity as the state religion... that would win! And remember, the only reason to run for office, or vote for a candidate is to WIN! So enough of the two party system, lets save time and money and just support Republican candidates. The millions of people who voted for Eugene Debs, Mondale, Dukakis, gore and Kerry were wasting their votes!
So...
I'm taking a brief vacation in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas (Blanchard Springs).
Be Back Soon..
