poltr1The election ads have begun. And so has the mudslinging.
It started with Ohio gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland, saying his oppoent John Kasich worked for Lehman Brothers (the failed Wall Street brokerage firm). The Republicans shot back, using Senatorial candidate Lee Fisher as the scapegoat for losing 400,000 jobs in Ohio.
I really don't know who to believe or trust anymore.
I lean toward the Democratic side of things, because they support the social liberal position.
Bottom line: Do I hold my nose and vote Democratic this November? Or do I risk pissing away my vote and voting Libertarian all the way?

Date: 2010-09-24 03:50 am (UTC)I consider myself relatively centrist, but the current crop of Republicans scares me senseless. I don't think much of their "completely divorced from reality" approach to government policy...or indeed, to pretty much everything.
