Judge strikes down Nevada’s 'none' voting option

[JohnnyRingo]

11. I assume you're represented by a Republican Tea Bagger.

In my democratic district in Ohio we're represented by congressman Tim Ryan of Niles. One of his first achievements in office was to carve money from the 2003 highway bill for the National Packard Museum located here in Warren. Without local representation that money would have been allocated by a federal board based on where they thought it should go. Ryan's last real GOP contender promised he wouldn't take any federal money for us in the Mahoning Valley. He was shocked that he didn't win.

Since then, Congressman Ryan has earmarked non-matching federal money for a community amphitheater that hosts weekly concerts free of charge and directed cash from the Stimulus Spending Bill to rejuvenate a once shuttered steel mill (V-Star Steel) in Youngstown that brought in hundreds of new jobs. The list of perks his representation brought us goes on and on in the last ten years.

On a personal level, my senator, democrat Sherrod Brown, petitioned President Obama to lend the money that saved General Motors. That move maintained my pension check for the forseeable future, against the wishes of the GOP. Now the GM plant in nearby Lordstown is adding workers this month to build a new Cobalt platform.

Though I'm sorry your representitive is "corrupt, sociopathic, and dishonest", you're incorrect in assuming all of congress is just as low. Perhaps if stupid people didn't waste their vote on "none of the above", democrats could get things done for more people.

Do you know who else tells me our politicians are "all the same" and corrupt?... My Tea Party friends who can't come up with a viable reason to vote for Republicans, but do anyway. They also tell me we have to "vote all the bums out" (at least as long as we have democrats)..

I welcome Tim Ryan and Sherrod Brown to make decisions that affect me and others in Ohio and the country in general and will work for their re-election this fall. I'm puzzled as to why you don't understand why I would do that.

Perhaps you're a borderline anarchist who thinks little or no government is best for the country, in which case there's only a paper thin difference between you and the Tea Party at large.
