What’s on the menu
I have been hearing a lot of crap from a lot of people about not liking the choices that are out there for various offices this election cycle.
Now, I have to say, if you look hard at Rod Blowdryavitch and Judy Barr-Topinka, I am in complete agreement, it’s a choice between the incompetent and the criminal.
Who put those people there?
WE did. Well, I didn’t put Rod and Judy in their current situations, the voters of illinois did, but that’s the point.
if you don’t like what’s on the menu, change the menu. Every person I know who bitches about the lack of choice is almost anxious to tell me they didn’t vote in the primaries. How the hell are you supposed to get anywhere with that?
Vote, folks And vote in the primarties too, if you don’t like who you see running in the general elections. That’s why we have this process. use it.
yeah, too late now. Remember next time, knuckleheads.

I voted primaries… but not for either of them. And I’ll vote for Governer, but not for either of them. I’m thinking I’m going to write myself in.
I will be voting green party this year. Yes, I know they don’t have any chance of winning. But I don’t see it as a wasted vote; but as a signal to the two big parties that there is unrest about them. Perhaps if more were to vote 3rd party, they would get the clue. Or then maybe not, but I have to take a chance now and then.
I left Illinois in ’95. Going back this spring. I won’t recognise it, will I?
