The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life - the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
Hubert Horatio Humphrey, US Vice President (1911-1978)

My other votes in this election

Posted in Personal, Politics by Riskable on the October 31st, 2006

I’ve been researching some of the lesser-known candidates and here’s how I’m voting:

Attorney General: Campbell
Primary Reason: Posted his entire voting record on his website as to how he stands on the issues. I don’t necessarily agree with all of the bills, but I love and respect transparency and openness in government. The other guy seems like an asshole. His stance on illegal immigration is to “work with law enforcement”. You know, instead of actually prosecuting businesses that break the law in hiring illigals. Not only that, but his website sucks.

Chief Financial Officer: Alex Sink
Primary Reason: Tom Lee is a pro-life, long-term (career politician) conservative Christian Republican who wants to “manage state government finances like a business.” In other words, Alex Sink isn’t a psychopath. Not only that, but the financing behind Tom Lee’s campaign is absolutely brimming with finance, development (buildings), and insurance companies (special interests). Alex Sink’s campaign contributions appear to be mostly from real people.

Agriculture Commissioner: Charles H. Bronson
Primary Reason: Because he wants to “restrict or even prohibit selling agriculture land to anyone who would use the land for a nonagricultural purpose.” Sounds great!

U.S. Senate: Bill Nelson
Primary Reason: I already like him. He always replies to my emails with intelligent responses that actually regard what I wrote about (something I wish Mel Martinez could get the hang of). I also think his opponent, Katherine Harris, is an evil devil woman. For reference, Harris appears to be absolutely ignorant to most of the issues I care about. I don’t think she can even associate anything other than “coal” and “oil” with the word, “energy”.
