Well, to be completely honest, my mind is made up. I will simply vote against any Republicans and initiatives. Notice I said against. I’m not terribly enthusiastic about voting for too many Democrats, but given the nuttiness of the current right-wing Republicans running the GOP, I could not in good conscience participate in any way to keep them in power. Remember when conservatives were fiscally conservative, pro-states rights and small governement? Now they’re spending like drunken sailors, consolidating all power at the federal level and intruding in the most private of our citizens (not consumers) decisions. As far as initiatives go, I’ve lost any faith in a process started as a way to empower little people that has been co-opted by monied interests. No worries though: with the economic precipice of the bursting of the credit bubble quickly approaching, I have a feeling that Republican will soon be considered a four-letter-word. RPLN?
