On The Warpath!

Well she made it!

After a month of floundering, Elizabeth Warren, the embattled Senate candidate in Massachusetts, gained the endorsement of the state Democratic Party on Saturday and avoided a party runoff in her race against Senator Scott P. Brown in November….the pro-Warren forces, including those of Gov. Deval Patrick, lobbied the delegates intensively, arguing that they needed all their firepower focused on Mr. Brown. And in the end, the delegates agreed, denying Ms. DeFranco a spot on the ballot by giving her less than 5 percent of the vote and sending Ms. Warren into the general election unencumbered.

Well on with the Fake-Indian! Scott Brown has been an abject disappointment, but Ms. Warren is a downright scoundrel. I will not be voting in this election, I’ll let somebody else chose the form of the Destructor, and instead vote in the few local elections and throw my chit to Gary Johnson.

    Thanks for the word about Gary Johnson. He looks like just the kind of antidote that we need to the two-party spend-and-regulate bloc.

      He’ll probably go the way of H. Ross Perot at best, but I really won’t mind a second Obama term, and while I honestly would prefer more Barry-O over Romney, I won’t be throwing any ropes over rafters if that totalitarian asshole wins either.

      And a Libertarian as President when there are not one Libertarian in the Legislature would be political bedlam (trust me, I lived in Main when Angus King was Governor and saw it first hand on the small-scale….just like I saw Massachusetts under Romney AND Deval Patrick, hence why I won’t mind an Obama second term) but I don’t know if that would exactly be a BAD thing. It would simply bar the blood-letting doctors from the room, and maybe the patient will be able to heal on their own!

        The most I’m hoping for with Johnson is that he brings enough votes this time around for the LP to qualify for matching federal funds next election, so they’re on more equal footing with the Stupid/Evil party.

        At the minimum, I hope he pulls enough votes to send a message to the Republican leadership – I don’t hold out much hope that they’ll get the message, but maybe the message will get sent. And in the meantime, I will at least be able to vote my conscience.

        And yes, I know there’s a bit of cognitive dissonance in a libertarian taking federal election funds, but it’s the only way they’ll get to a level where they can compete. I figure that if any one party is getting the funding then other parties are only putting themselves at a serious disadvantage if they refuse. We need to end the federal funding for all parties at the same time.
