It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

You could have just made the list one item long...
There's a (-R) after his name.
...then skipped right to "I'm voting form him".
Fish on...

I don't recall voting for any Republicans in a national election.
I've voted for quite a few in local eletions over the years...I used to get face time with all the local politicians and meet them in their offices for a bit to check them out, and then voted according to what they told me then. It's a lot harder getting that time now than it was 20 years ago, so I don't do it anymore.
I remember meeting with Dino Rossi back when he was a local politician running in my district...even as a much younger person I was appalled at his inability to grasp even the most rudimentiary issues...not surprised to see that even though his grasp never improved he was still able to use that (-R) after his name to have nearly half the vote in his Governor races...goes to show you how unimportant knowing anything is in big races any more.
The last Republican I voted for was Rob McKenna...twice. I may vote for him again, but for a very smart guy I was not impressed by his inability to have anything intelligent to say about why he was joining the lawsuit over the NHCA, and he's gone from being a pretty reasonable guy to a someone who is pandering to the idiotic right over the last year...speaking down to his base, so to speak. That certainly hasn't impressed me. It was easy for Rossi because he was a member of that idiotic base...no work required to speak their language. McKenna is literally dumbing himself down to get votes...judging by Sol Duc's response, its working.
Fish on...
Todd

I know what it is...and rather than reward him such behavior, I'm considering otherwise. Not being part of that idiotic base gives me a lot more leeway when voting Fish on... Todd

Willard Mitt, was his mom whacked on Thalidomide when she thought up that one? Willard is not an uncommon name for that generation. I am indexing data from the 1940 US Census for Familysearch.org and I come across it a lot. Haven't found a single "Shawn" yet though. Thankfully, I wasn't born in the 40's, or the 50's.

Trust me, there's nothing petty about how I choose the folks I vote for...and if I think McKenna is better qualified, then I'll vote for him...but being a tool to get tools like Sol Duc to vote for him is a big red "x" on the "is he qualified" equation.
