When I announced on my facebook page yesterday that I would be voting for President Obama, the comments from my friends reached an all time high. If I have to choose between the “better of two evils” – the decision was easy. I used to be a fan of Paul Ryan, until I realized just how far-right and radical his record is. This will be the first time, since registering Republican after college so I could vote for Ronald Reagan, that I will be voting for a Democrat for president. We don’t need to redefine the meaning of “rape.” We need to redefine what it means to be Republican.
And that is why my quote of the week comes from the book — The Party Is Over: How Republicans Went Crazy, Democrats Became Useless, and the Middle Class Got Shafted – By Mike Lofgren
Love this quote from a reader of the party’s over!
“How will the Republican moderates who are increasing pushed out of their party going to react to the extremism of the current party? Will they have enough and vote Democratic as the better of two evils? Will there be a candidate with the resolve to do what is right rather than doing what they are lobbied or outright bribed to do? These are the questions that Lofgren focuses on that can help us as voters to think through what must happen in a long-term effort to reclaim our government.”
