NJ,
My disdain for the double-standard, hypocrisies, and collusion over the election cycle probably led me to take your post way too personal the other day.
There's too much grey these days and it gets overwhelming for someone who believes strongly in fairness and justice. Not saying either party plays by those rules.
But there's little doubt Liberals are taking this to a whole new level of disgust.
I'd label my political viewpoint as independent with a right lean. Before gang politics became so absurdly abused these last several years, I judged candidates by the person, stances, and not party affiliation. I supported Perot actually.
For example, while the Dem debates were nearly unwatchable listening to Clinton and Sanders promise free everything and pandering to the minority vote with every answer, I listened closely to Webb...the one who seemed moderate and made sense at times.
If he'd have won the nod, I'd have given him a fair look. But the hard truth is even as President, Webb would've been forced to tow the Ultra Lib line while surrounded by radicals in Congress.
I'm always open to a moderate, non-Rep candidate if said person is offering a better plan for the country and seems highly competent. Johnson was far from that, IMHO.
It's a shame Congress has to be figured into the POTUS equation so heavily now due to the overwhelming abuse of gang voting.
Congress was meant to be a checks and balance to the Executive Branch. Now it serves as a divided group with two default settings...attack or enable, depending on the Prez's gang affiliation.
While I prefer to be Independent and will not join either party in order to decide stances from a neutral setting, it's undeniable the Dem party has been hijacked by radical Libs.
The only thing a person who strongly believes in fairness, justice, and traditional American values can do is help keep them out of power and further destroying the framework of this country.
