My Confession

When I first registered to vote, I was repulbican. I bought into the retoric of how the "Great Society" had brought this country down. I voted for Nixon. When I saw his act,I began to question my leaders. Little things like how can they break the law or even try? They know the law, hell they are the law. Changed my affiliation. I'm not a crook either and won't harbor them.
I never thought that I'd miss Nixon. I've kept an open mind during elections and I've kept an eye on the tenure of the elected. After the last eight years of this administration, I will never vote or consider a Republican worthy of my vote again. Crying for change by the Republican Party is the most disingenous ploy possible. It might work, but I pray not. And I do mean pray...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
