6. I HOPE he's an "independent."

I usually have a hard time trusting people who say they’re independent. I want a DECLARED FRONTLINE PROUD-of-it DEMOCRAT.

I can’t trust an independent. Their loyalties are suspect. I can’t get around (or away from) my worries that they’re as likely to vote GOP as to side with me.

Besides, I’ve seen people SAY they’re “independent” mainly because they don’t want to be honest about being Republican. They’ll vote that way a lot, if not most, of the time. They just don’t want to have to admit it.

We’re in campaign season again and I’m noticing how many billboards and yard signs and even campaign commercials that don’t tell you what party the candidate belongs to. I find that schemingly deceptive. DELIBERATELY deceptive. Trying to romance you into voting for them. I want to know which party they belong to! And if I don’t see that, I likely won’t vote for them. I’ve come to suspect that if you don’t identify publicly as a Democrat, then you’re probably trying to put one over on the voters. In any event, you’re not being completely honest.

FULL DISCLOSURE OR BUST!
