I'm a one issue voter [View all]

I did my civic duty today. Pleasant experience chatting with the locals. An old friend said she’d bake me some cookies, she’s an awesome baker. I’m 68 and I was close to the youngest in the hall including poll workers.

I’m down to one issue. Not the economy, not the price of gas, not abortion. I look for an (R) next to a candidates name then vote against that person. I also voted against the confusingly worded constitutional amendments that (Rs) were advancing. Can’t vote for members of the crime family who daily spit on my military service while calling themselves patriots. Oath keepers my ancient ass.
