Can't ever recall my marking a ballot for two Democrats and a Green Party candidate, but I did so today. The Green Party was a vote for Ben Manski because he's running against liberal pinhead Brett Hulsey, who I have despised for years. He's one of those there-is-no-solution environmentalists who would like for us all to ride bikes, trains and wind powered busses. One of the Dem votes was for Sheriff because I know the guy and it's not really a political job anyway. Plus he won't give in to the liberals who want him to stop reporting the illegal aliens that are arrested, to ICE.
But I have to admit the other Dem vote might surprise you. I voted for Russ Feingold, even though he will probably lose. It's the first time I've ever voted for Russ. (I may have even contributed to his opponents in the past.) So it was a surprise to me that I began to question voting for Ron Johnson last night. Russ has been an annoying liberal for the past 18 years, but he has gotten credit from me several times due to his principled voting. 12 years ago, he was the only Dem in the senate to vote for impeachment against Bill Clinton. Ten years ago he was the only Dem to vote to confirm John Ashcroft as Attorney General, saying that Bush should have the AG he wants and that he hoped others would do the same should he (Russ) ever get appointed to such a post. Respect. But he has been so very liberal over the years that I had a hard time marking the ballot. In the end I decided that if there was ever just one Democrat left in the senate, I would want it to be Feingold. And Ron Johnson is kind of creepy.
