This is not a joke. I just received this e-mail. You know this will work, because Decline to State voters just love people deeply respect those who pay for endorsements by slate mailers.
I suppose pay-for-play voter guides could get worse than this, but I’m not sure how.
I plan to vote against anyone whose name appears in this guide. (If someone buys a spot for me, which I will not do and do not authorize, I will seriously consider not voting for myself.) I’ll hunt a copy down when it comes out, I promise you, and find out which people had the bad taste to pay money to an entrepreneur to make it look like they are the best candidate for “decline to state” voters. For some reason, this one is the last straw for me.
P.S. It’s not just a Decline to State Voter Guide, it’s the OFFICIAL one!
This is a Open Thread. Enjoy your weekend; Happy New Year to our Jewish readers.
Has anyone heard from the opponents of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”?
They were all running around screaming that it was going to ruin the military.
Soldiers were going to be painting their M-16s pink, and the troops would be looking like “The Village People.” It doesn’t seem to have turned out that way.
Yes — the main opponent within the Joint Chiefs says a week or two back that it had turned out not to be a problem.
Any politicians like Newt, or Mitt, or McCain, or Santorum, or Bachmann?
You know, the ones that were passing out on their fainting couches at the mere suggestion of repeal ?
Anything from them ?
I haven’t noticed anything — and I haven’t sought it out.
Enjoy your New Year!
