all i'm saying is that "straight down the ticket" seems really sad to me.
It is really sad, but that's a failing of the Republican Party and the Two Party System. Since one of the two major parties has gone out of its way at all levels to make itself something repugnant to me, what choice do I have when voting? Vote for something I hate occasionally just so I'm not voting "straight down the ticket"? I'd consider a 3rd party candidate locally, but in MA, NJ, PA and OH, I've never found one who either had a chance or matched my concerns. Quite a few of the smaller parties come off as Nuts. Libertarian and Natrual Law to name two.
