What goes around comes around. I applaud the efforts of Republican voters that had the stomach to cross the line and vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
People that were SS guards at Treblinka have an easier time admitting what they did.
They crossed over and voted for Clinton or Obama because they like one more than the other.
On the Republican side there is no contest, and as someone that believes in the democratic process, I don’t blame anyone. This was a case where a race was underway and their vote would matter.
Apparently, supporting actions like this make me an evil enemy of democracy and America in the eyes of some.
A lot of you are probably thinking: “Big deal ,Sean, I already thought you were a sociopath and evil as hell.”
As of writing this, many are still members of the Democratic Party. And based upon what I have been reading, I am deeply concerned.
The Plain Dealer, Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and some media personalities have said that the voters who crossed over should be arrested and charged as a felon for switching parties. It appears that those who crossed over and voted for Democrats are accused of committing “voter fraud.”
Personally, all I see is “one man, one vote.” Those that did vote for Hillary or Barack voted once and only once. So much for Democracy and the freedom of choice and expression by telling people who they can and cannot vote for.
I find this particularly confusing when I consider that the Clinton and Obama campaigns actually called me up to vote for them.
So the Clinton and Obama people were calling to encourage illegal activity? No, they called to get people to vote for them.
A concern I had, though, is why they had to fill out a pledge about their loyalty and beliefs to the party.
What kind of system claims that this is at all good for democracy?
Pledging loyalty to a party and its ideas in America today is mind-boggling since both sides change not necessarily the issues themselves, but their priority.
As a Republican, I sure did not like all the issues out there. And even now, I don’t agree with everything.
Some in the Ohio Democratic Party wanted to know who I and everyone else voted for, and wanted to put innocent people in jail for exercising their rights. Now the upholders of the people’s rights want to search Internet forums to find out who posted threads, bragging of crossing over. Since when have we people thought it was OK to do Internet searches and loyalty checks by inspecting secret ballots?
Hell, this is even more invasive than the Patriot Act and FISA. This really makes us as an entire nation look like jackboot-wearing bastards.
Telling me those voters undermined democracy is disgusting and hypocritical. Do you really think John McCain won all the hearts of every Republican who already voted? (I say this in jest if you cannot figure it out.)
Hardly. Many independents and others crossed over.
I think it is more than likely that Democrats voted for old Johnny and thought they could stick it to the GOP. They wanted to put a bad candidate up against their own pick. Fate has a great sense of humor and now instead of sitting back and laughing at the irony, I feel sad. The fact that people on both sides are now fully engaged in tactical voting is very disturbing.
It looks like the chickens of the Democratic Party have come home to roost. Now that both sides have fully experienced the effects of this treachery, everyone realizes how bad this is to America itself.
