I didn’t vote
It was a big decision for me, because I have voted in every election since I’ve turned 18. I even cast a vote two years ago, declining to vote for the president but casting a ballot for the other races. This time I felt not casting a vote would send a better message.
I’ve just turned on the radio and heard the results for several hotly contested Maryland races.
In the Governor’s race, Bob Ehrlich managed to wrangle a B grade from the NRA, despite not doing a damn thing to support the RKBA during the last 4 years. He did not even attempt to fulfill a single one of his campaign promises towards us, even though the “vote freedom first” faction was a huge help to get the first Republican governor elected to the state since Spiro Agnew. Although I detest the thought O’Malley winning the office, we can’t let the critters know that we’ll vote for them even if they lie to us, even if the other guy is worse.
As of this morning, that race is undecided.
Another hotly contested race was for the senate. Michale Steele, currently serving as our Lieutenant Governor, has refused to indicate any support for or against the RKBA. It seems like Steele wants to have it both ways. Despite this ambiguous position, this critter has also managed to score a B rating from the 700 pound gorilla of the pro-freedom movement. Looks like Steele lost his bid.
In a refreshing change, the yo-yos in the Libertarian party either failed to get enough signatures to get anyone on the ballot, or chose to not waste any funds on races they could not possibly win. Unfortunately, they also failed to initiate any pro-freedom ballot initiatives or even solicit anyone’s vote either way on any questions and amendments. It is my sincere wish the the big “L” losers in this state shrivel away, lose their wack-job members, and reform under a new banner as an effective political party, instead of the joke they are now.
