Otherwise, I can't imagine why you were getting those mailings. I've never gotten mail from any independent or third party in all my decades as a registered independent.<BR/><BR/>Debbie, I'm not so sure I can be objective on this. Sarah Palin is certainly an attractive candidate for conservatives, and I particularly applaud her anti-corruption efforts. But I cannot ignore the big picture --- what a Republican administration has done to this country in the past 8 years. I'd rather vote for a third-party candidate who has no chance of winning than validate the GOP with my vote. I'm not objective when it comes to the Republicans in this election.Marcia Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583408312189215536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633535619861190138.post-22837715937193488832008-08-30T11:11:00.000-06:002008-08-30T11:11:00.000-06:00I am interested in your take on the new VP nominat...I am interested in your take on the new VP nomination for the conservatives. I had almost made a decision to go independent when they up and pulled this surprise out. As an independent do you have an objective view on this?Deborah Downshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656595647264695045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633535619861190138.post-90597682328844980552008-08-29T17:11:00.000-06:002008-08-29T17:11:00.000-06:00Over the past 8 months, I've watched the primary p...Over the past 8 months, I've watched the primary process play out and had to reckon with something that was nagging at me. I am a registered Democrat, and have been for almost 20 years. My first impulse after turning 18 was to register "independent," but was horrified to see that meant I received things in the mail for the American Independent Party. So I changed my affiliation to Democrat and that's where it has been since. <BR/><BR/>The truth is that I hate talking points and often vote for whichever candidate that speaks to issues that are important to me regardless of Party Affiliation. I think that makes me Independent. <BR/><BR/>Anyways - i searched the web and happened upon your blog and wanted to say thanks for this. It's a great read and I enjoyed it. <BR/><BR/>regards,<BR/><BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633535619861190138.post-76303150767549655042008-08-18T22:23:00.000-06:002008-08-18T22:23:00.000-06:00Duly noted and deleted.

I am also looking forward to reading "We the Purple". It's nice to "meet you".<BR/><BR/>Just FYI: I was going through some of your links (to the right side), and when I clicked on "The Purple State", a page that has NOTHING to do with states, or politics, or purple anything popped up. You might want to delete the link, if you know what I mean.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981196390032022927noreply@blogger.com
