Straight Party Vote

Straight Party Vote 10/6/10

Once again, at the NATIONAL LEVEL, I think it is extremely wise to vote the straight party to make sure as best we can that our party will be as strong as possible in Congress. As you can see from recent difficulties a shortage of Republican votes allowed passage of some pretty awful stuff. I would hate to see an opportunity to prevent such blockage be lost because an individually chosen representative of the Republican party in a wayward state was not to someone's liking because of some particular issue or issues. Their defeat in a national election could have much greater affect on overall national policy. No doubt we have had some pretty sorry representatives but the state may need to wake up, not the party as a whole. I don't know how close the election will be in the Senate but I don't want to take a chance on losing because of a doubtful representative in Alaska or Delaware. I am concerned about any single-issue voter unless the issue be "less government control over our lives". --Ralph
